Hi everyone! I have a 58 plate GP and I've been looking for some sporting alloys for 4 months now. Does anyone have a set they are willing to sell? I will pick them up and pay cash. I am looking for either the fork style or the newer style sporting alloys.

Thanks!

Look in the classifieds lad, someones selling some.

had a look at those mate but 2 of them are buckled I don't really want to shell out for repairing them

Yes I have a set of 4, they could do with a refurb but they are ok. For sale if you want them, they are the forked type, two have a pair of almost new tyres, I'm located in North Devon,

Many Thanks,

Mark

They look good Mark, could you message me a picture of the damaged ones? are the just kerb scuffs or are they worse? what colour centre caps do you have with them? I think they're the blue ones with the old wheels aren't they? How much do you want for them?

None of them are in much worse condition than this to be honest mate, just slight curbing here and there, I have a set of brand new red centre caps too, I really don't know how much I want for them tbh! One pair of tyres are almost new and the other pair aren't so good. Make me an offer if you like? I can get pictures of each wheel tomorrow evening for you if you like (I'm at work in the day),
Kind regards,
Mark

that sounds great Mark, If you could get me some pictures of all the alloys tomorrow and the tread on each tyres. I've seen these go for sort of £50 each so £200 for the set? I live in the midlands so it will cost me a lot to drive down and pick them up

Yep no problem mate, leave it with me. I've got a tread depth gauge so will be able to let you know how much tread each tyre has. Will also get pics of each wheel for you £200 sounds fine to me mate,

Kind regards,

Mark

Hi mate, wheels 1&2 average 6.0mm of tread as pictured and are a matching pair. Wheels 3&4 are also a matching pair but are 3-4mm in the middle and 1-2mm on the outside so barely legal really. Here are pictures of all the wheels.
wheel 1
Wheel 2
Wheel 3
Wheel 4 - black mark not curbing, it is rubber marks which are removable.
Wheel 1&2 tread
Wheel 3&4 tread

Kind regards,

Mark
