Title: F/S 18" Irmscher Sport Star Alloys
Post by: RobseyMV6 on 11 July 2009, 22:33:44
I'm selling a spare set of these alloys (4),
no tyres, £650
As you can see like new, no damage just one alloys has a few light brown mark spots and don't know what has done this?? can't really see it (to be honest)

With the greatest respect ... I'm confused... (and jealous as I want some of those wheels !!)

You had this set of wheels in boxes in the garage .... yet you drove 2000 miles to pick up another set which you have fitted straight away .....  and you are now selling this set .....

Have I got that right ???

If so ... why didn't you fit them ??

confused of wiltshire .... :)

what's the lowest you would go for these wheels as a set of these brand new from irmscher or vauxhall is now only 650 quid for 18"/19"s and even less for 17"s

credit crunch hitting them hard maybe?

Entwood, I kept buying odd one alloy whenever it popped up on ebay and got stuck at no.3
After a long wait i found 5 alloys in Poland and drove over to get them
3+5 makes 2 sets of 4  ;)

sorry my mistake:

18" usually 1776 now 885 (inc vat)
17" usually 1272 now 637 (inc vat)

"at all vauxhall retailers and direct from irmscher", despite irmscher.com website reflecting original price!

Erm, I never said they couldn't be. I was surprised that such a long trip would be made to get wheels only for them to be sold soon after.

Although it appears that may not be the case.

They're damn nice wheels, and if I had the cash I'd have pounced on them.

I can vouch for this as Rob had two delivered to my house that he managed to buy on the open market, these are very rare now and hence sell at a premium so grab them while you can
