Default 16" Refurbished Satellite Wheels

Hi All,

I not long ago bought these refurbished 16" satellite wheels from user @RollingThunder on the 30th January 2022. They look great and I used them (plus the all-season tyres) to go to the alps.

However, I have got the opportunity to buy a 1959 Wartburg 311 from the film "The Man From U.N.C.L.E" from a friend of mine, so could do with releasing some cash!

To quote the original advert:

"The tyres have done maybe 3k miles and again are damage free. I'll check the tread depth later if there is any interest. These Hankook K4S2s are one of the best all season tyres out there - see https://www.tyrereviews.com/Article/...t-Overview.htm

This package cost me around £1k (yes, honestly) as the wheels were imported from Arizona (IIRC) as 16" Satellites were not offered in the UK, just the 17" ones. I specifically wanted the 16" US version for the better ride quality.

I'd be looking for at least £600 as the tyres currently cost around £65 each plus each wheel must be worth £100."


I have then done about 1200 miles on them so about 4.2k miles total. Tyres are still great.

I'd be looking for offers around the £500 mark to another forum member.

@RollingThunder please let me know if you want me to remove the pictures from the original advert.
