Pirelli wheels

Post

Back to the top
I'm going to put the original wheels back on my Mk1 and have it absolutely standard so I'll have a set of Pirelli wheels that I really haven't got room to store and will be selling.
The question is what are they worth, they're not perfect but have a nice 'patina' and all have centre caps, two have Goodyear Efficient Grip tyres that have done barely 200mls and two have Uniroyals about two thirds worn.
Any opinions appreciated.

Scour the WTB's or For Sale here, and the VWvortex.com as well as facebook market place to get a sense of worth.    If you ask 1000 Euros for then + shipping some one will buy them  Or do as my Brother does on his cars at shows.  He has a placard, that sets the Sale price at 87,000 Dollars, so folks quite asking him, he said some day some SOB will offer that much, and it will be sold. :)

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

500 quid I'd say if they're not fresh.

Briano, I think your right, years ago I had a Vauxhall Cavalier for sale and was adamant I wanted £3100 for it, someone came along and offered me £3000 and I turned it down. About an hour later there was a knock on the door and the same person was standing there with literally a handful of cash, he said" look, I'll make you a final offer, I'll give you £3200 for the car" so I said fair enough and he bought it.

Thanks for the advice Roach, I'm really surprised at the price these parts are going for now.

Ive just sold a set of 14" (9P) P's that had been sat in my garage for 15years. They were in pretty decent condition having  been refurbed and used before storing.They had very good Pirelli P600 tyres but I wouldnt have trusted them after so long in storage

I ended up only getting £100 for the alloys/tyres, but the Pirelli centre caps with the embossed logos sold for £220.

I think people are asking too much for them online, they are common as muck wheels unless they are the 8P versions or 15" ones.

I think they are overpriced for what they are, they are not even particularly nice, although nice to see fitted to a car which would have had them fitted back in the day.

Ask a massive amount and wait, or if you really want them gone then ask a sensible amount so they sell - your choice.

If I want something gone I scour the internet with a "buyers head on" to get a feel what's available out there if I was a buyer, then undercut everyone with a slightly lower price. My theory is that the next person looking for a set who starts the looking process will buy them , job done.

Thanks for the replies.

I ran a Mk1 for twenty years and always had 14" wheels, steels to start and then I inherited these Pirellis,  now I've put the original 13"wheels back the car is quieter, the steering is lighter to a point where I wouldn't consider having power assisted if I could and it's much more compliant over our bumpy roads, if only I had known before.
