pickles Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Hiya guys Due to needing to raise some funds I need to sell the 17" GT Wheels (Tech 5s) that came with Brinkz Car I recently brought (Celica Gen 7) I have had the tyres removed, they were no good anyway (I thought bald tyres were illegal ) so I will just be selling the rims themselves, easier to parcel up and pack anyway to be honest, lighter too So, the wheels... a few marks, nothing to bad, a light refurb at most but to be honest I could happily run with them as is, its just a matter of personal taste I suppose, there not mint, but there are a few marks, just being honest How much should I ask? Obviously I need to sell them, If I had a choice I wouldn't lol they are really decent alloys, but I don't unfortunately have a choice..... so I want as much as I can get, but cant afford to be accepting silly amounts HELP PLEASE GUYS Chris Edited January 21, 2012 by pickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyRacer Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Let the vultures fight over these. Stick them on Ebay with a reserve. Free listings this weekend I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev 16v Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Would you be willing to split them?, I need two to make up a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebee Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Let the vultures fight over these. Stick them on Ebay with a reserve. Free listings this weekend I think. yeah got to agree with Dave , i would think somewhere around the 300 mark if they are in good nick and still round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adex Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 yeah got to agree with Dave , i would think somewhere around the 300 mark if they are in good nick and still round Really? I'm sorry but I'd be surprised if they make more than £100 with no tyres! Even in perfect condition, they're just not desirable enough for someone to impulse buy at £300. A set of enkei or similar can be had for £300 & there's been a set of gt4 advan alloys on here for sale for ages, with tyres for £250! Not trying to be moody or anything, but when so many 'better' wheels can be had for similar money, you'll just be wasting time/money pricing them unrealistically. Wheels on auctions go for cheap. Wheels on fixed price listings don't sell unless they are cheap. People don't shop on ebay to pay what items are worth, they want bargains.

Serratia Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Agree with Kev, if you want to split them, I ll take one, I know J03 will prob take the other and Kev could have the other two. I ll give you £75 delivered for the best one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebee Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) well 4 at £75 each makes £300 doesnt it ? i thought they had stopped making these now ? id be prepared to pay £200 + delivery just to have them sit in the garage till next year to use as winter wheels post some pics so we can see the condition Edited January 21, 2012 by Bumblebee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adex Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I suppose, if you want to pay over the odds for winter wheels, then do it! Just picked up a set of winter wheels myself, cost me £56 with tyres. You can have them for £200 if you like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have them for £200 if you like? but they arent tech 5`s are they and if people are prepared to pay £75 for one then £200 for 4 aint a bad deal is it ? All depends on what you want , i still want my car to look nice in the winter and it would be cheaper for me to put rubber on rather than use my 18`s for the occassional track day too Edited January 21, 2012 by Bumblebee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumblebee Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Pickles sent u an offer 30 seconds after u posted via pm let me know Cheers lee im guessing its what i offered lol no worries , still think they are a good buy so long as they are in good nick and still round , not realy looking for wheels at the minute but you cant pass up a bargain can you ? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonahjones26 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 No you can't as long as they r all good and true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adex Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) but they arent tech 5`s are they Granted, they're not OE alloys at all, they're made by a tiny almost un-heard of jap company called WORK... Actually, do list them for £300. I wouldn't mind being proved wrong as pickles will be quids in! (we are all on the same team after all). I just find it hard to understand what makes quite a plain wheel so desirable? Is it purely 'cos they're off one of the better g7's?

Bumblebee Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 apparently they dont make them any more and as you have seen on here within a few minutes people are after spares so making them worth more Only my opinion and i am frequently wrong , just ask my mrs lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumblebee Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Tech 5s are made by Fondmetal Of Italy and are OM for GT. Current price if they can be sourced new is £982. cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyRacer Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I've taken the price off Paul as I realized that was what I was quoted for them more than two years ago with club discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebee Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 no worries Dave , i know what Wayne paid for these, he got a great deal a couple of years or so ago but they were still a lot of money and they are getting rarer every time someone dings one with them being discontinued , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyRacer Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Bit like me then with my 8-spokes. Same will happen to those as well. Got six and looking at another new one now. I intend to keep my Gen7 for another 5 years so extras will come in handy but I only want new ones. At a cheap price Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
