Post by bobtheyop on Jun 29^th, 2005, 4:52pm

hello there,

just got hold of some 12 spoke alloys,so this means i've got 9 teardrops to go.
four of the tyres are very good but one of these is a different size.
they are 3 x 205,60,15h and 1 x 195,65,15h.
anbody interested then let me know,

thanks,
bob. ;)

That's funny I got a whole lot of these as well. Most people will not sell just one. but if anyone wants just one for the spare I will give them away. but you must colluct from Coventry or arrange courier yourself. I have some with more of less brand new tyres, these will not be given away but willing to sell.

on ebay they don't sell at all. (in the main,) now you put up a set of 12 spoke's and they sell like hot cakes. I got one full set for £160 and another set for £180. One set I used to replace the steel wheel in the boot, so I got one set as spares

To Bobby, I got both my sets off Ebay. So why did yours cost £102. Where yours a little scuffed or scratched. or was it because the tyres where close to not road legal. I must say that's a very good price for a set of 12 spokes.
The tear drops are much more easy to clean, but I got my 12 spokes, because of the fact that the more rubber on the road the better I think. so the change from 195 to 225 wide is better.
But I put my tear drops back on my 1996 2.0. because I am about to sell it. but I did some time ago change the tyres to 205 from 195 as they needed renewing.
But you are right the 12 spokes set off the cars real nice and are 16 inch. Can't understand why people go for other type of alloys than the 12 spokes.

I sold my 12 spokes for £275.00 but they did have pirreli p6000s on and they did have good tread. I put the 17" 7 spokes on which really look the dogs when they are washed and polished!!

hello john,

only two of the tyres had good tread,the others were broken.
the centre caps needed touching up,other than that the actual wheels are great,no kerbing marks.
two days later another set went for exactly the same price,weird?

cheers,
