What do you suppose a set of these are worth these days?

 

i paid either 250 or 350 for mine

i did get lucky with mine i think

you could get crazy money for them imo its finding the right person

They're 16 x whatever you like. Got 4 centres, 4 inner rims and about 10 outers of varying sizes. And 8 sealing rings, 4 of which are virgin. Turned down a grand last year, should of took it

 

i cnt remember what i paid for my gasket rings, im sure they was around the 100 quid mark for 4

wish i had the dollar to make you an offer

good luck with the sale dude

 

Hi Fella,

If nothing happens with Gus (not stepping on toes), drop me a line with what you want for them please mate.

I have the datapost promo car so would love a set of these for it

Huw

 

im on my arse so no toe treading huw

would look great on yours

 

Cheers Gus,

Read on the S1 site that you have a set - looking forward to seeing pics. :thumb:

 

O this is so unfair!!!!!!!

As much as id love them i feel they will be at home on a Datapost car!!!

There must be so many bits that people have hidden away its crazy

 

jus talkin wiv gus about 16" datapost wheels yesterday lol.... my 15" r half way thru refurb n i aint got any money at the min :0(

 

I made a pair.. the hubs on a Machining Centre (CNC) and the rims came from France via Compomotive. as needed 2 sets for the car.. reciently found another.. but the full race wheels are very differant form the road going version. (road going is stronger, both the hub (centre) and the rims.

 

How can you tell which us which graham?

 

i remember 15 + yrs back a m8 of mine bought a rs1600i turbo technics car big warrior kit on it and a set of these wheels lol the same week he sold them to speed shack as he thought they were ugly for 150 quid he was gutted when i told him what they were a few weeks later.......

 

I have only seen at shows etc Road going version MH600.. so cant realy show the differance. but the rims are thicker.. and the hub webs are thicker compared to the race type.

 

These wheels are mint.

 

Sorry for the late reply. Very busy week, with virtually no free time. When I have had a little spare time it's been pitch black and raining dogs and I've had nowhere to lay the wheels out and photograph them.

But yesterday I had a spare few hours so I carted them 20 miles down the road to my nans house and photographed them there.

So without further delay:





The wheels as they look assembled (modelled by my beautiful XR3i)

The wheels are currently disassembled, I took them apart years ago to have them polished but sold the S1 before I'd gotten round to doing it. Here is the set as they are now


I think you'll find it's the most comprehensive set left out there. It comprises 4 inner rims/tubs, 4 centres, 8 outer rims (4 pairs, each pair a different width), 4 used gasket rings (can be reused with silicone/ bead sealant etc) and 4 virgin gasket rings never ever been used. Along with all the cap head bolts, soft metal washers and nylock bolts, although personally I'd replace these.

This is a genuine motorsport set, with the ability to have different width tyres on each axle, the RSTs ran much wider fronts than rears. I bought them from someone with a genuine ex-motorsport car, they still had the period Avon slicks on them (as seen in the XR3i pics) these were beyond saving, and I don't have them anymore. They went flat after 5 mins and were square from years of being stood flat.

To save putting all the pics in here and swamping the thread I've created a public album here:

This is the most important photo though:



Serious offers from serious buyers welcome.

WILL being getting rid of these.

Cheers

 

Cheers for reply, pm you back, very serious

 

SOLD, thanks for all the interest

 

"I think you'll find it's the most comprehensive set left out there"

no it isnt.. I think I know where these originated from... yes they are the propper race versions.. EXCELLENT I hope they have gone to the right car.....

 

Damn... have i missed out again?!

 

I stand corrected.

They haven't gone to the right car I'm sad to say. But I received an offer I couldn't refuse given my current financial situation and the likelihood of losing a household income to redundancy. In another time and place it would of been a different story.

 

GUTTED mate, but understand... if anything changes please, please let me know?

All the best
Huw

 

Of course Huw will let you know straight away if anything changes.

Thanks for your understanding

 

Cheers Tom, just got back
