Default Carbon Dipped Rota GRA 18 x 7.5 - 5 x 100 PCD

Looks like i`m going to be selling my 18" Rota Gra`s in the next week or so as i just cant live with the ride on my Spec-C, Seen some 17`s that i fancy but not sure what to let these go for, Ideas please

Carbon Dipped Rota GRA 18 x 7.5 - 5 x 100 PCD - Not sure on the offset but THEY DO clear Brembo calipers, They fit ALL Imprezas excluding the widetrack Blob/Hawk/Hatch STi`s, The wheels are in Mint/As new condition as i had an issue with them which meant getting them redipped so they are literally like new and have not been put back on the car since this was done.

Tyres are Pirelli Trofeo DS(coft compound) in 235-40-18, Ideal for trackdays as there is plenty of meat on them and they are very sticky and have a very stiff sidewall which decreases body roll

After an idea of a fair price whether it be on just the rims or the rims/tyres as a package. They will be available for sale in around a weeks time and i will get a for sale ad up with prices etc...A few pics to help you

It won't be as much as you wanted, if they had been the wider Rota's I think you can get a good price but normal size rims don't command top dollar.

Rob Wakelin has some 8.5 rota grids up for sale but he isn't selling them till he finds another set he likes and therefore you could wait a long time? but you could guarantee the wheels you want?

Yeh i know what you mean mate, The 235 tyre fits just right on them and they sit fine in the arches but each to their own and all that....Or you could just fit some spacers, lol.

Wow, I want those wheels! If only they were 17x8 and 114 pcd, I would have them.

Where were they carbon dipped?

They were done by Wicked Coatings, the cost for them to do it is around £250-300 depending on the condition of the wheels, I know i`m not going to get top dollar and all my cash back for them but they are a bit difficult to price. I might just put them on ebay and let the market decide what they are worth...Also considering removing the tyres as i know i can get £175 back on them.

Anyone??

I'm thinking around the £375 price for the wheels, Considering its gonna cost 250/300 for anyone wanting this done to their wheels... Is this a bargain or not or just a fair price ?
