They are worth @ least £50.00 per rim. You seem to be forgetting something. They're only worth what someone will pay. To be honest, you've more or less said they need refinishing - so that's another £50 / wheel on top of what you want. And there's no way they're worth £350.

I think you're asking way to much, IMHO. Even if they're rare, they don't _look_ that rare, and the number of people out there willing to pay £150+ for scruffy set of alloys is very small. There also seems to be a lot of weights stuck to them, been bashed in the past, have they?

They are worth @ least ?50.00 per rim. Nobody wants to buy 'em at that price, so *I'll raise it*! That'll drag 'em in.... <boggle> Stick 'em up on eBay starting at a quid, no reserve, and you'll soon see what they're *REALLY* worth. > >> Wonder why there has been no bids at that price?.......lol > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Stick 'em up on eBay starting at a quid, no reserve, and you'll soon see > what they're *REALLY* worth. I've often done this in the past. Takes a bit of bottle to start with I suppose, but I've never been dissapointed with what it has eventually made. >>Stick 'em up on eBay starting at a quid, no reserve, and you'll soon see >>what they're *REALLY* worth. > > I've often done this in the past.

Any old junk will sell on ebay if you tell the morons its something rare even it it isn't 6 inch wide ford wheels ain't rare. "Its not the width thats rare, it's the diameter. RS/ laser alloys are 13" and come in vairiouse widths and offsets but not 14" > "Its not the width thats rare, it's the diameter. > RS/ laser alloys are 13" and come in vairiouse widths and offsets but not > 14" Which probably makes them even less desirable. 13" or 15" tyres you can get loads of good quality tyres in all sorts of sizes. Real 14" tyre development was left behind about 20 years ago. Certainly nothing like as good as all the other rim sizes above 13" !32 tryes are expensive in comparison to 15's at least in the wider sizes, 14's are 2 a penny as lots of cars come off the production line fitted with them. Price has to do with availability not development and 50% of production cars come with 14's hense the lower price than 13" dealer size which mainly come with skinny a.s tyres in 70 & 80 aspect ratio where as most production cars use wider tyres in the 14" size with lower a/r more suited to spirited driving ie: 155/70/13's as oppossed to 185/65/14. > > "Its not the width thats rare, it's the diameter. > > RS/ laser alloys are 13" and come in vairiouse widths and offsets but not [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > was left behind about 20 years ago.

Oh, I dunno. 7" wide 6J wheels are fairly scarce. > Price Goes Up Next Week. !!! They are worth @ least £50.00 per rim. How can the price go up at an auction?

I have to admit, a set of 14" RS alloys would make the Sierra project even weirder. <re-engage braincell> Nahhh, 16x8 Revolution RFX's I think it'll be. SignaturePete M.

Well, it was white once... it's a kind of oily never washed road grime beige at the moment. I think I'd go for black centres with polished rims though. I like black wheels. SignaturePete M.
