I think the problem is that "everyone" has std wheels so you are really only going to get the value of the tyres.
Also, depending on the track day, a set of tyres can be well scorched even although there's plenty of tread left.

At 100+ per tyre you can have a choice of new ones.

Perhaps 300ish is more realistic ?

I don't mean to waste your time but I would be interested if you are considering re-pricing

Hi Darren.

Just to add another selling point... You should have mentioned that they are road legal (just) so you can ride too and from the track in 'em.

Dan- Thanks for the interest but I'd rather shift them together- having spent £30 getting them fitted and balanced!!

DannyBoy- cheers m8!!- according to Yokohama they are def road legal - they are used as the standard road tyre on the Lotus 340R.

Scoobaru2000- make me an offer- anywhere close to £350 and I'll deliver!!

Anybody?
For any track addicts, I'll throw in 4 free well-worn 16" Bridgestones- 1-2mm left but OK for 'mullering' for an hour or so on track.

C'mon make me an (sensible) offer- I need the space

I have a set of 16" wheels stashed away (old subaru style) with pretty worn down bridgestones on them. Wheels kinda scratched but perfect as a spare set, for track use or winter tyres. Wheels are called Comp-something-i-forgot

Other than that, i have a set of those lovely 16", refurbished wheels, in gold, just like our friend here is selling, with brand new tires on them (1000 miles or so).

All in Belgium (pick up on a track day in Zolder or Spa Francorchamps perhaps)

300 Euro for the comp whatever (that's under 200£) and 300£ (or 489 Euro) for the shiny subaru wheels

Just coz i got myself a set of 17s really

All located in Belgium, prices are pickup or delivery to Zolder Race track (not far from me) if i get to ride a lap along ;-)

Can provide pictures of the actual wheels if required

E-mail me for further contact
