Mi16 15" alloys, £50 - PICS ADDED!

For sale, the above wheels - I bought them for the BX, but I've decided I like the 205 1.9 alloys more.

They are the ones above, with three matching tyres and one that is different. All are 195/50/R15. One is inflated and three are flat, but I don't know if they would hold air - they haven't been on a car for ages apparently. All have decent tread. I'll inflate them soon and find out...

One has curbing and one has serious lacquer corrosion, but a wire brush on a drill and a sand/paint respectively would clean them up.

They look like this on a BX:

£50, pick up from Manchester. More pics and info to follow, just seeing if anyone's interested...

Have you had a chance to check out the tyres yet mate?

I may be interested, as I've just been screwed by a divvi on eBay!

Can't afford much though, so 'working' tyres are a must for me!

Cheers
Dave

P.S. Manchester's handy for me, as I'm only in Blackburn!

Would they go under the rear wheel arches of a standard bx? (TZD estate)

I've heard that they will, can anyone confirm?

I thought one of the 16v boys said they would fit, but I can't find the blasted post now! Will keep looking. STILL haven't managed to try inflating them. Housemate has now returned with the foot pump so if needs be I'll do it the hard way!

I have a strong feeling that a set of genuine BX 16v alloys, freshly painted in dark grey, and fitted with 4 almost-new rubbers, will be coming in my direction very soon!

Bugger (for me) woo! (for you)

Still up for grabs then, and more pics on the way, I promise!

Just had a quick go round with the foot pump and they all seem to hold air.

OK, I went to the garage with them this afternoon and inflated them all, they all seem AOK.

Going on ebay BIN £75 but I'll sell them for £50 to a BXer!
