5.5J Silver Refurbished Speedlines With Great Tyres
I have a set of 4 5.5J x 14 speedlines which have been professionally repainted so are ready to go, they come complete with 165/70 R14 tyres, they are all budgets but two are pretty much new and the others have 3/4mm. These wheels have NOT been fitted to a car since being refurbished.
It would cost at least £30 a wheel to get them refubed so with that in mind at £120 you get the wheels and tyres free and just pay for the refurb costs.
No wheel bolts supplied sorry.

£30 is the going rate these days, I got it a bit cheaper through work but even so I think the price is fair, £30 per wheel x 4 is £120 excluding the price of the wheels or tyres in the first pace. If someone offeres me £100 then fine, if not then no worries I will keep them for a rainy day. The tyres are far from shitty though, ok not michelins but two new premium tyres would cost the asking price.BX Bandit wrote:You did such an excellent job on re-furbing your alloys Tim I'm surprised you paid £30 per wheel on these. £120 with such shitty tyres seems expensive tbh

I meant shitty from a size point of view, I'm surprised they don't look a tad odd.
Michelins are overrated in my opinion to be honest, I don't know what the fuss is about.
Also didn't know alloys were worth that much, I shall ask more for my Xantia ones when I finally get round to putting them on fleabay

They were destined for the silver 16TRS, but as thats gone now they are surplus as I like the TZI as is, most BXs came with 165/70 tyres inc TZD turbos so I dont see what the hang up is about to be honest. I have a set of 185/60 tyres on 4 steels which if anyones interested which they could make a set from then sell the 165s to a BXer with steelies.Philip Chidlow wrote:Tyres are the rub here Tim: if they were 185 profile - with life in them OK. And no bolts: find 16 bolts for under £20 and you're going to be very lucky.
I wonder why you don't want them since you refurbished them?
I could use the £100 towards taxing the TZI hence the sale.

Ah, I see.
As for the tyres, I guess the fact they're GTi 5.5J alloys they are made for 185's... Having said that, I saw a Turbo diesel Ourane (Hurricane) in France with alloys and what apeared to be the standard 165's... all a matter of personal taste I suppose.
PS The above BX had air con too. Nice.

The tyres are the ones that were on the wheels when I bought them, as 2 of them are brand new it seems daft to chuck them. Chris Abbot with the 19TGD /BXI 700 has the same configuration with no problems. I thought the later steelies (black with the holes in them) were 5.5J anyway so shouldnt be a problem?

If i didnt have other issues to sort out on my fleet, i'd have taken them off you Tim. If you dont get your reserve on e-bay, just keep em in the garage, i'm sure that someone on here will eventually want to take them off your hands.

yep - that's a good idea... I'd be quite interested in them for my TZD but money's tight for a little while if I pay to get the head sorted out..
I think the 5.5J size look best on non 16v BX's.. I have a spare set of 6J dark grey alloys that I was thinking about putting on the estate but I know from my old 8v Gti that they look a bit too squashed, especially on the rear..
