Title: Value of 4 Pirelli alloys in as new condition
Post by: Tinytim on November 04, 2013, 08:38:02 pm
Might sell the alloys from my Pirelli seperately.

Anyone any idea how much these are worth roughly?

(Without tyres)

Got to be worth at least £150-200 per wheel.

When you say sell them separately I assume you mean you're selling your Pirelli? As it's a special edition I would probably sell the car with the alloys. You probably stand to lose value on a special edition car by not having the correct wheels.

Yes I'd sell the car seperately. I have no intention of ever putting the wheels back on it, love the team dynamics too much.

The car would have to sell first though, I certainly wouldn't sell the wheels while I still have the car in case any potential buyer wants the wheels with the car.

I for one would walk away from any Pirelli that didn't have the right wheels supplied or fitted as they are hard to source. £800-£1000 to get a set...if you can find them.
In the defence of the Pirelli alloys the look of the wheel is improved with a colour change. But then I would say that!  :P

Colour change or no colour change the Pirelli alloys don't need to be defended!
I have had so many people comment on my wheels. From a bit of a distance they look big and agressive. I have had to point out to a few people that the spokes are the Pirelli logo though.  :sad1:
