FS.. Rare Ford Alloys For the MK11 RS Range.

They look like pretty common Capri MkII Alloys to me.

Totally Different I can assure you, MK11 Capri Alloys the Edges of the Spoke sections are raised, these are dished down. Think that is best way to discribe them.

Have a close look and compare to a set you are thinking about ... Very very different.

Igundwane waffled on in a quite bewildering manner to produce...

Bit on the rare side an all, look a bit like RS2600 rims to me.

No they're not. RS2600 rims aren't dished.

Could be why they only look a bit like 'em...

you're right though

Igundwane ( snipped-for-privacy@ntlworld.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

"6Jx14H210 are the size of them, 7" Width"

Eh?

Wonder why there has been no bids at that price?.......lol

Price Goes Up Next Week. !!! They are worth @ least £50.00 per rim.

Pull the other one Smacks of the Hillman Hunter front side/flashers that were sold on eBay for a silly price as "very very very very rare works Escort parts".

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.

Great " Winter Project " then.. sitting there infront of the fire, gently sanding away with wet and dry ;-)

Certainly would be when they are finished though

The only way to properly refurb the wheels is to get them sandblasted, machined to get rid of scuffing, before painting and laquering.

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?

Igundwane ( snipped-for-privacy@ntlworld.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Nobody wants to buy 'em at that price, so *I'll raise it*! That'll drag 'em in....

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.

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

How can the price go up at an auction?

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"

I have to admit, a set of 14" RS alloys would make the Sierra project even weirder.

Nahhh, 16x8 Revolution RFX's I think it'll be.
