Katy Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Just been offered a set of Fox RS-8's including 4 x Goodyear Eagle F1's and 3 x budget 245/35/20 tyres for £1200. Struggling to find out how much these would have cost new and wondered if anyone could advise me whether they think this is a good price. Also, any recommendations on how much I could sell my 18" Rays for? Good condition (v. minor curbing to fronts) and new-ish tyres. Just a guesstimate would be great. (WTF am I doing, I need wheels like a hole in the head...) Quote
BulletMagnet Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Do the Fox RS-8 look like these? Personally, I would try and keep the Rays and slap winter rubber on them if the Zed is your only car Quote
BulletMagnet Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 oh snap, same car (used to belong to a chap called Andy that used to be on here too) Quote
Katy Posted June 26, 2013 Author Posted June 26, 2013 Yup, those exact wheels, off that exact car... Quote
Katy Posted June 26, 2013 Author Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) *Why do you say that... would I regret that size on a daily driver?* Sorry - just re read what you said. Makes sense. Edited June 26, 2013 by Katy Quote
BulletMagnet Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 But to answer your question, I think Rays usually go for somewhere between £300 - £400, so nothing special. Hence the suggestion of holding on to them for winters, if Zed is only car. Polished lips and winters are not a good combo, found out the hard way myself. Quote
JetSet Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Those wheels are stunning. £1200 sounds about right but Bullet is correct, they'll be destroyed in the winter and they'll be expensive to repair too. I've already had to replace 2 sets of polished rims . I'll be using these as winter wheels from now on. Pete Quote
ZMANALEX Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I have a set of Fox RS-8's with tyres in the store that I was about to put up for sale. The wheels and tyres have done less than 500 miles and are like new. I was thinking of asking £1250.00 I have had these from new. Alex. Quote
DoogyRev Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Well here is a set of RS8's . . . http://www.kentcustoms.co.uk/acatalog/4x_18_Inch_Fox_RS8_Hyper_Silver_Stainless_Rim_Alloy_Wheels_With_Tyres.php If you can get a brand new set for 835, then 1200 even with a few spare tyres seems a bit much to me Quote
ZMANALEX Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 You will find that the 20" are much more expensive than the 18". Alex. Quote
DoogyRev Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 You will find that the 20" are much more expensive than the 18". Alex. Ahh my bad, did not see the 20" bit Quote
Katy Posted June 26, 2013 Author Posted June 26, 2013 Thanks guys, appreciate your advice. Would I be eligible to apply man maths to solve this problem?! Statement: Partner rarely sees Zed outside the garage. He doesn't care for wheels. Question: Would he even notice they were different? Answer: Not if I hid the 4 x Rays! 1 Quote
StevoD Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Is it only me that thinks they look a bit "Pimp my Ride" Personally for the money i think you could get some nicer wheels i no thats personal opinion but im sure people would rather enkei,rays,ssr etc than fox, https://www.facebook.com/JapanesePerformance - These guys have a lot of reasonably price real jap wheels 1 Quote

Katy, if you want wheels, go here: http://www.rimtuck.com/search/thumbnails&make=Nissan&model=350Z and see what can be done. Seriously, take a bit of time, do a bit of research and youd be amazed at what you can pick up Ive plugged them elsewhere on here but my old Gram Lights are for sale at the moment, £1200 with brand new FK452's and they look great on a 350Z http://www.driftworks.com/forum/wheels-tyres-sale-private-sales/200826-super-rare-rays-gramlight-57f-pro-18x9-et20-18x10-et15.html Quote
