I don't think I have heard of anyone who buys wheels wholesale in the Midlands - did you put them on eBay? If you didn't, that's always worth a try - I can get AnnMarie to list them in her eBay shop if you like - she has serious feedback so always looks like a good seller!

When I was looking around at some wheel restoring firms, I found that some of them buy used wheels. So that might be worth a try? You could try advertising them here, but both Markiii and I have have done just that recently, and not sold them. Perhaps in the run up to Christmas people are less inclined to buy such things?

My wheels are on ebay at the moment, no bids as yet, but 300+ views, so someone must be interested...   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Jon isn't on here much, so I'll stab a guess - I'm sure I remember him saying they weren't stock, but I can't be sure - I'll ring him and ask.

He does mention a receipt in his original post so I'm guessing that they are aftermarket wheels.

I can only imagine that any company that would buy the wheels would offer next to nothing for them!

eBay, findit.co.uk, papershop windows, local papers I would suggest. Or sell them cheap on here  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Have you tried flogging them on MR2DC or IMOC as my stock wheels were bought by a Mk1 owner off one of those sites  s:?: :?: s:?:

There seems to be something about selling wheels at the moment. noting is shifting at all.

And ebay, yikes how many more muppets are going to email me asking if they will fit there NOVA, I've listed the specs why can't they do some work aswell?

Jon, If you get to the point where your price on the stocks drop let me know. If the are cheap enough I'm still looking.

Just say that fitting to Nova requires some mods and you'll get rid of them  s8) 8) s8)
