Set of FRP alloys!

[Alex_gregory_uk]

Just to let you know I've got one sat in my garage just taking up space. It's slightly buckled and could do with a refurb but if you want it for £20 it's yours.

That's no trouble and i shall shop around for reburb places that are not too expensive.

Great stuff. If you would consider doing that though (refurbing then selling them to me) then consider them sold - I'd definitely buy them from you, as I'd be looking to get them around then anyway!

Thanks Alex, but I'd rather buy a full unbuckled set. Appreciate it though k:

I'll let you know what i find... what colour would you want?

 

[audio84]

The standard silver would be amazing bud.

So yeah, if you could give me a price for the four refurbed wheels, that'll be great

Is there any rubber on them? Not a problem if not, just curiosity!

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Theres tyres on them, I know one is flat and tread i dont know but i'd suggest new tyres all round... New rims, new tread!

Pumabuild want £330 for a set of 4 refurbished ones without tyres - not TOO bad, but I'd rather get some for the same price with rubber

They're bloody rare I'll tell you that!

Plus they may advertise them, but seldom have refrubed ones in stock

Indeed... they advertise LSD's, spend a month trying to ge thold of one then say, oh we have run out. lol

Pumabuild have 2 sets in stock at the mo, but I'm happy to buy your refurbed wheels in October instead

If you have seen places for £40 per wheel, you must let me know, cheapest I have found is £55.

You realise these are 17" wheels aye?

City Powdercoaters in Birmingham do them for £25 per wheel they did mine (and do pumabuilds)

That's absolutely fine by me mate I heard there's a few places that do full refurbs for about £40 per wheel. If you want to add that extra price on top of the price that you'd originally sell them to me for then that's ok with me. If not I'll take them off your hands anyway and I can refurb them whenever.

Thanks for holding onto them though, much appreciated k:

Cheers Simon... bit of a distance to get them done but i'll have a look.

They did my 18s and Cherie's 17s for £20 a wheel a few months back and they're top notch k:

Yeah Birmingham is a bit far reall but i've emailed the powdercoaters in my area. Seems much cheaper that the actualy alloy refurb places.

 

[audio84]

Couldn't remember sorry, I just remember a few people saying the same thing - that the average was around £40 a wheel.

Indeed I do. Saw a puma on eBay with 40mm springs and frp's on, and it literally instantly made my mind up! 17" FRP's and 40mm's it is.

 

[Zara]

IIRC you will need spacers to fit them aswell...

the ET of the FRP is 28 and the standard Puma is 34-38

 

[audio84]

Aye I expected as much. Guessing 12mm on the back and 20mm on the front would do it - should solve the rubbing problem too

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Have a look.....

Hmmmm, they look slightly different to be FRP's though. It's okay Scotsman I'm happy to wait for yours!
