Probable Sale: 16" honda ES alloys

smb09_1999 · 5th February 2008, 16:49

Folks,

I'm probably going to sell my 16" alloys that came on my Civic ES. I'll be upgrading to 17"ers in the next month or so.

If anybody is interested, I'll be looking for £300. There are tyres on but they have done 18000 miles and will probably need changing very soon.

Colleciton only, Newcastle area.

PM me in the first instance.
Cheers!

Which alloys have you opted for matey, and where did you purchase them from..Any pics of the new ones when they are fitted

.

Havent bought them yet, have got some info from Turriff Tyres in Scotland. going to look at a local garage over coming week or so.

Also, it depends if I get any interest for my current alloys!

Before you change them see if you can get a test drive of a model with 17" rims - there have been a few posts here where the implication is that 17" rims produce a harder ride to the 16" rims.

Thanks Kremmen, have already done that and couldn't really tell much difference in all honesty.

One minor point with aftermarket wheels, I am not sure if you can get the disc finishers to fill out the discs on non factory fits.

The problem you may have selling them is that Honda only do the 1.4 SE without alloys seriously reducing your market.

smb09_1999 · 6th February 2008, 22:32

Yep, but I'm open to offers if people can't afford the £300 (serious ones only though!

).

I acknowledge its a limited market, but it only takes one person and plenty have sold already on this site.
