Title: Lotus Eclat/Elite wheels, tyres & adapters - diamond cut for shiny goodness!
Post by: CJ Dubs on August 09, 2011, 12:08:33 PM
***Now willing to post***

It pains me to do this but have to in order to fund tyres & refurb of my new rims!

I bought these for my MK1 Polo project, got them diamond cut, bought brand new tyres for them and then had a set of adapters custom made to fit VW's.  There are 5 of them in total but the fifth is not diamond cut, nor does it have a tyre fitted – this was going to be on display in the rear of the car.

Wheel details:

Lotus Eclat/Elite wheels
7 x 14
ET – not 100% sure but I think it may be around ET19
4 x 114.3 PCD


Tyre details:

175/50/14 as per the pic below
Brand new – never even seen a yard of road surface!


Adapter details:

Had these custom made by Engineering solutions Ltd
Made from aircraft grade aluminium with steel inserts for the bolts
40mm wide
Converts 4 x 114.3 to 4 x 100 stud pattern
These cost me more to have made than the price of the car – shocking I know!!!  Let's just say more than £400 but not quite £500!!!


I also had Engineering Solutions Ltd turn me 16 stainless 'top hats' which fit snugly in the bolt holes and I also bought 16 brand new chrome plated 'dome' bolts – all can be seen in the below pics.

The wheels also come with 5 centre caps but I did not get round to painting these black – they are currently silver.  I think they're made from aluminium.

Don't want a part ex for any other wheels - need the cash for my money pit project!

Located in DA9 - Greenhithe, North Kent.

Due to the price of what I paid to have these refurbed, new tyres, custom adapters and anciliaries made I can't let these go for too little and for that reason......

Price.......£600 OVNO all in!

Cheers,
Chris.

Please note - the wheels in the above pics are not my exact wheels but I am using the pics to highlight how good they can look!  Mine are freshly refurbed with brand new tyres! ;-)

Cheers,
Chris.

Make me an offer mate and I'll see if I can go that low.  Don't want to say a price to put you off when you're best offer may get me interested.

Please bear in mind that these cost me £790 all in though!  I know they're not worth anywhere near that but the more I drop on price the more I'm effectively throwing away!

Cheers,
Chris.

I was gonna say £400 then probs negotiate. But I can't guarantee that I will buy them as I've got to sell my BBS's 1st if I want to get these.

Sorry mate - that's just too low for me at this time. :(  Been offered £500 for them on CP so I'll see where that takes me...
