It was actually Hondas fault, they had decided that the extra lap didnt count as it was effectively still the same lap He boxed when he was told to box on the pit board
-
Good description but will probably get RT saying its not heavy compared to a Hummer or something, using his logic! Wasn't logic its called perspective You have a twisted perspective if you do not class Wolfrace as neither cheap or heavy
-
Huge **** up by Bridgestone in my opinion, whilst the bike swap was fun to watch, i dont think it represented who was actually fastest and suited George well, not to take anything away from him, he won what and did what he had to do. Bad mistake by Honda or Marq, whom ever seems to be responsible. Actually had my money on Danni this weekend, he seemed to have the best pace on the hard tyre Marq still holds a healthy advantage and can cruise for a 3rd in both races if need be, although i am sure thats not his style.

What sort of weight are these wheels? I see in your other thread you mention you want a set of lightweight wheels for track and look good for shows. Its very much going to be a happy medium at that point imho,especially if your looking at 19's.

When it comes to Wolrace i am afraid those points are fact, regardless of how much they cost compared to earnings and however you want to try and justify it with some twisted sense of logic, they are probably the cheapest and heaviest on the market which is nothing to do with opinion.

I dont think it makes any difference what the car is worth, the modern way these days seem to be to modify and return to standard before selling so some of the investment is returned and if you buy quality it will always be desirable and worth good money. It wouldnt be my choice as if i had an extra £10k or there abouts in my pocket i would buy something else anyway and i think the same effect can be achieved for less but admire the op if he does go down the dpe route, very dedicated

I have no idea how someone is fully adept with ebay enough to advertise would not look to see what other Rays are selling for and price accordingly?
-
Buy 2nd hand and they will be very nearly worth what you paid when you come to sell them For example http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/77055-volk-gts-alloys-19-inch/ or http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/77098-19-volks-sf-winnings/

I have polished lips and spend no time at all polishing, they were polished at a shop, decent products applied and now all i do is wash and drive

Why would they suit a £20k Audi or Vauxhall and not a £5k Zed I think there will be more and more chavvy Zeds about, just have to get used to the fact Sent from the Jaaaaaag at the golf club YAAAARRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPP Certainly hope not, that is why i moved out of Rx7's, i am watching the early warning signs that i missed on the rotary clubs, lessons learned and all that One good thing with Zeds however is you will not classic insurance on them for quite some time, because Rx7's were older and if over 25 you could get cheaper insurance, not many chavs can afford to insure a group 20 car

Personally for me a wheel makes or breaks the whole look of a car. Get it wrapped and put something nasty on and the money spent on the wrap goes out the window. I would be getting wheels before a wrap Wolfrace = chavved up Saxo/106 and very Max Power as a company!
-
I posted before i googled........... May look ok on some kind of suv thing, but not a Zed
-
I dont think any sort of actual colour works, bronze, black etc excluded as they are not really a colour, unless it is offset by a decent polished lip
-
Shocking wheels if you ask me, but if your on a budget and you like the style, what does it matter?
-
So long and short of it is, you are suggesting Rotas are an alternative? Sorry buddy, i am being pedantic The op is asking what these wheels are worth, imo it makes no difference what a set of Rotas can be bought for, its like saying i can buy sparkling wine for less than champagne
-
I think the suggestion of Rota's wasn't as a alternative to Volks, it was that because of Rota's these will either take longer to sell or force a lower price. Which was in line with the OP's question. Personally i have no idea why Rota even plays a part in the price of these, they are not Rotas and that is a very good reason to want to pay a premium, unless of course they are being suggested as an alternative?
-
Without quoting to arouse "discussion" and single out comments. The colour may not be to everyones tastes but personally i like the fact they are different and think the colour will pretty much go with any colour Zed, as someone else mentioned in another thread somewhere, he was looking at spending £7k on wheels to be different At £200 to get the centres done to your personal taste and the fact its so easy to get done cause they are splits is no big deal. Jap performance as Stevo mentions is making a living providing quality 2nd hand rims like these, his pricing is probably a very good gauge as what you can expect to achieve. Sure you may need to buy tyres but you can pick up some very good part worn Michelin etc for not a lot. And to the Rota comments as an alternative, sure you can pick up a set of new Rotas with average rubber for less new, but, thats exactly the point, they will always be Rotas that adorn 1000's of cars because you can buy them new cheap and will be worth about £2.50 in a couple of years along with 1000's of others for sale, imho, you cannot compare prices with Rotas. These wheels will still be worth good money in a year or 2 or more, as Rotas flood the market, these get rarer, values might even go up £1500 and not a penny less imho.

Some idea of what they look like on a Zed Had mine resprayed in House of Kolor Kandy Purple and lips polished
-
If its not and your right on your 28 day thing, refuse the car and request your money back mate and go buy another
-
I am hoping for your sake it isnt ready this weekend and you can get your money back, unless its been full rebuilt i am not sure i would want it back
-
Same as mine (though higher offset), but not mine. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19-SPLITRIM-DEEP-DISH-VOLK-RAYS-ALLOYS-5X114-3-fit-SKYLINE-GTO-SUPRA-RX7-300ZX-/131017989231?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item1e8147dc6f

Sorry to say its the nature of the beast when replicas are available. I had an original RMagic front bumper from my Rx7 i was trying to sell when i split mine down, there are probably 4 - 5 tops in the country, they are not made any more and replicas were never available, but when someone sees they can buy pretty much buy any other replica for the same if not similar money. People dont want to seem to pay a premium for original stuff. Seems to be the way of the car scene over the last 2 - 3 years

I personally have no reason to hate Vettel, as discussed previously re not knowing him and i have never disregarded his obvious driving talent, but, that doesnt stop me thinking he is a c*ock from what i have seen of him. I dont care how good he is or isnt, it doesnt mean i have to like him. All this mentioning his wins and his up coming win is just no justification to the fact i think he is a c*ck and to add to that from a personal point of view (opinion only) until Vettel is in the seat of a inferior car the jury is out to just HOW good he is. Shall we have a poll Who thinks Vettel is a good driver Who thinks Vettel is a c*ck Two completely different subjects and in the most part, you will probably get a 9 votes out of 10 on both subjects.
