alloys - be quick!

Mark480 · Oct 10th, 2008, 20:54

i desperately need the space so i am weighing in all my alloys. alloy is 70p a kilo and guess the wheels are about 11kg each so £15 a wheel to cover costs and £8 a wheel postage. 7 wheels in total. 3 perfo wheels from a v70 2 with nearly new tyres and 1 is u/s and 4 big wheels off an old volvo think it was a 940 or something rwd 4 federal tyres that have about 7mm 215/45/17. these are having the tyres angle grinded off and weighed in for scrap tomorrow morning so be quick.

I'm interested in the ones in the first picture. Are any of them bent?

Aw no! been after some bigger wheels for a while hence my wanted thread here:

http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=59290

If they are not taken then I would love the 17s

Just my luck if I have missed them

definitely have the first 4 alloys .

you want money ? i have it !

Mark480 · Oct 11th, 2008, 10:10

sorry - didn't think there would be that much interest.

all the wheels were weighed in this morning £51.10 easy money

davebslater(uk) · Oct 11th, 2008, 11:25

not when you realise the polaris alloys are rare and would have fetched £200 on ebay .

baggy798 · Oct 11th, 2008, 14:05

Yep, he would have made easier money if he knew what they were.

It'd be worth trying to get them back as they are ultra rare and would easily fetch over £200 on eBay. In fact I'd go as far as saying it's a crime to have a set of Polaris scrapped.

i cut the tyres off with an angle grinder though

the wheels had huge cuts in them too...

nobody pointed out how rare they were until they were gone....
