Prefacelift mv6 wheels.
« on: 21 July 2011, 12:48:33 »

Are they still sought after ?
What would a set of four be worth in good condition - not buckled ?  :-/

Possibly buying, if so will be selling.Already had some expert advice, but does no harm to get a wide range of opinions.
Nowhere Yorkshire James. Actually about 15 minutes from me - which is one of the reasons to consider them. ;)

I very, very, very much doubt they are not ovaled. They all are.  Thats what happens when Irmscher make stuff out of toffee.

Easily checked though.


Once buckled/ovaled, you get a vibration at around 70-90mph that balancing cannot solve. Obviously, the more the damage, the more the vibration.

I had a really bad shake above 70 and after numerous attempts to get it balanced out took it to Lepsons which is close to me.

Put it on their machine and found the buckle which they removed to give a near pefect wheel again.Whilst there they checked the other 3 and found all fine and thats after 180k although did have them refurbished about 3 years ago.

Think if you are carefull and try and avoid the potholes they are not too bad but after this winter can,t really be surprised some are buckled.

Amazed at how they remove the damage and all for £40..result in my book

I don't think the ones on my old Mv6 were buckled, definitely no vibration/wobble at any speed.

From memory they sold easily for £150, I'd aim for around fifty squid a wheel now.
