EDIT: The one's Ken has for sale may not be 6", I can't see where the width is quoted?
Kevan,
The O/E 'Graphite' Speed-line alloys were all (Normally) 6"J in width and fitted to the GTi 16v :wink:

The all silver ones were generally 5.5" width (but IIRC all silver 6"J were fitted to the 4x4 GTi) !

:D

For once I can answer obscure model variants!

My E reg 16v has silver 6J Speedlines and it's in white - I'm pretty sure these are original and I seem to remember other early white Mk I valvers having silver Speedlines...

Silver 6j ones on the phase 1 16v, graphite 6j on the phase 2, silver 5.5j on everything else.

Sorry but I've decided not to sell these.

They not mine anyway, I was selling them on behalf of a certain Anthony whose son owned the 17TGD, and yes I offered them to Daren for £60, but have lost money on the car I thought these wheels and tyres were worth £75 especially as they come with all the wheel bolts. So £15 profit for me! well maybe not.
The buyer wanted to have them collected by courier who advised they should be individually wrapped in bubble wrap ready for collection, that's a lot of bubble wrap plus time going to find it and finally doing it.
Then there's the issue of whether they're the right size tyres, wheels etc etc.

Frankly I can't be arsed. I've told Anthony to come and collect them.

Sorry but deal with him yourselves.
They think it's all over, it is now!

Hi Ken,
I'm with with you on this one /\ , as when I Sold a set of five Dolomite Sprint Alloys on E-Bay last year (Which were without tyres) it took the best part of 3 to 4 hours to package them all up, protecting them with bubble-wrap and filling the hollow areas of the box internals with polystyrene blocks etc.

Then wasting a complete A.M. the following day waiting for the Courier to pick up, as their pick times are 8.30 to 17:00 hr's (They actually came @ 12:49 to pick up the parcel) so when you add all that up, it equates to approx. 8 hr's of lost time devoted to that task !

Some folks don't seem to understand all that /\ , so maybe I may too join you Ken on turning my back on BX's (and this forum) !

Hopefully it may happen sooner rather than later (when my last BX is gone) as I did want to get it back on the road with it being my first ever Green Blooded vehicle, It's a Silver 1.7 DTR TURBO hatchback on a 'G' reg. plate, but needs a top end strip/overhaul due to a cam-belt failure (I have a spare head also a superb spare turbo too) !

But I think it might just be easier (and less stressful) for me just to scrap it along with all the remaining BX spares after the personal $hite/attack on me in THIS thread which I really couldn't care a flying f**k about compared to all $hite I've encountered in my personal life in 2011 !

:evil:

Rich, so your'e going to spite yourself just because of a little moan on a thread, i've re-read it all, & blimey theres nothing hardly in it. Take a break from the forum by all means, but don't do anything that you'll personally regret. No idiots on forums get me down, they might pee me off when i'm in a bad mood, but i soon get over it 8)

Take it easy & get your bx back on the road, you've mentioned your car a few times, i want to see it at the iccr this year. Perhaps we might have a challenge of me getting my blue tzd back on the road, who can get there 1st, you or me :D

I understand Ken's thoughts exactly, a lot of work for hardly anything, personally i'd be having a word with the owner who didn't sell me a mint car & would be persuading them to give them away for FREE as some small compensation for finding bodgey paint hiding holes :x
