I always browse ebay, like most nights when I get home from worked as its blocked by my companies server. Anyway the other day these came up for sale local to me and I knew they had potential so I though I'd have a cheeky bid. Turns out I won and went and grabbed them off a fella who'd imported an EK9 and found these in the boot! He didn't have any room to store them so put them up for sale which is where I came in. I had something that looked like this..
Nothing special by any means but the fundimental basics were there, 15x6.5, et32, 5x114.3 pcd and the best bit they only weigh 6.2kg's each! They're essentially the perfect wheel for an EK9. So I knew what needed doing to make them more attractive, they needed to go white. Thankfully before my Dad was recently laid off he made plenty of contacts whilst working and one of them was a fella at a local powder coaters. Needless to say I sent the old boy straight down there with the wheels as he's got plenty of time on his hands at the moment the poor bugger. Just under a week later I come home from work and there they are sat there all shiney and white, I'm pretty chuffed with how they came out to be honest and I know I've not lifted a finger really but theres something strangely satisfying I find in having shiney new bits, even if they're not technically new.
Anyway
I offered them up on on the car and they look pretty damn good, the only problem is I've promised myself I'll get 16's so I can tuck some rim and not worry about killing the underside of the car on my daily commute so allas they are for sale.
I'm asking £350 ono for their sale and if you're interested give me a shout over email - phil_tighe@hotmail.co.uk and we can go from there. Anyway thats the 3rd set of wheels I now own for the car so I better slow down on that front as i'm running out of space to keep them but then again if these go....
