If I were to sell my alloys without the tyres how much do you think would be a reasonable price? They aren't that common. Every wheel has a bit of damage from when the tyres got fitted by some fucking tyre monkeys but they aren't as bad as most wheesl thats been kerbed!
I was thinking I could get £300 for them, maybe a little bit more as they aren't your cheap Fox or Halfords specials They are top quality, never flaked or bubbled like alot of other wheels do.
I'd need minimum £300 to be able to get my new wheels with minimal outlay and could swap the tyres over from my old ones. Am I dreaming thinking I'll get that much for them? Would sell them on Ebay with a reserve I think.
They are 17" Mille Miglia EV-S, the ones on my car if you hadn't guessed pics in garage...
Reason for thinking of selling is that I fancy some of these

and car would like this

but without bad boy bonnet and with the Pro Races instead of MO's.
Mainly comes down to how much I could get for my Mille Miglias as to whether I get new wheels

Worth a try Matty, they are very nice wheels and close to perfect condition (darn tyre fitters)
Stick em on flea bay with a reserve of £300 see how they come along.

Does £80 per wheel (without tyres) sound about right for brand new Pro Race wheels?

I you want to do it, do it. Its down to how much someone is willing to buy them off you for.
How much did you buy them for and how long ago

I might do it anyway. its nice to get an idea of how much money I am going to be able to get back from selling the old wheels so can work out how much its going to cost me on top for the new wheels

you would get 300quid but that would be with tyres!
i think without tyres you will be pushed to get 200quid i think, maybe 175!

as above harsh reality unfortunatly! people will be interested in packages just as much for 2nd as new as to buy a whole new set of tyres is a fair whack compared to the cheapness of new pacakges now!
i sold my 16 inch mille miglias with the pricey dunlop 195/40 with only 1500miles on the tyres so lots of tread and they were sold for 275!

Right so I'm gonna lose a fair wack of money on my old wheels 
Does £80 per wheel sound a good price for the 17" Pro Race wheels?
