Help with Alloys!

Post

Back to the top

Need to get rid of a set of Alloys but no idea what they are to be able to advertise them :/

Hello

Hope its ok to post this here!

I have had a set of 4 Alloys for years, and finally getting round to getting rid of them, only trouble is I've no idea how to advertise them.

I know its a long shot, and possibly a bit cheeky but was wondering if anyone with an expert eye could take a look at the pics and give some advice on what these are?

I was sold them with the promise they would fit my car (Mk1 Cabrio), I tried to put them on myself but couldn't get one of the original tyres off, so took it to my garage who said they were the wrong size anyway! Obviously I want to be sure I advertise them correctly, but if they don't fit my car, I'm not sure what they would fit!

Like I said, bit of a long shot, but maybe someone knows what they are looking at (I unfortunately don't have a clue!!!)

Many thanks for any advice offered :)

7jx15 and et25 but can't see any PCD numbers. Likely 4x100 and don't look like 4x108 or 4x114 so good for a golf but could be a little funky and be 4x98.

As for price they aint in fab condition and nor are the tyres so a couple of hundred would be about right.

did they say why they wouldnt fit? if they bolted up but would hit the arches then you know they are 4x100 at least and fit any vw/seat thats 4 stud

look pretty tasty some kind of MIM alloy so a couple hundred as above would be about right, maybe a little more even. main thing is need to find out the size, obv worth a bit less to vw owners if not correct but more to the car owners they do fit lol

I'm interested maybe, depending on the price! I have a set very similar but they don't fit properly, offset is all wrong, but like the style.
Let me know what you are looking for them price wise! They do look like they would need a full refurbish though.  I don't need the tires and I could sort a courier. Would want to make sure that they are 4x100 though. This means that the distance between diagonal wheel bolt holes is 100mm

I believe the Bridgestone tyre with the date on 02 00 is from Feb 2000 so now it will fail the new MOT as any tyre over 10 years old is a fail.
I could be wrong?

Age of the tyre  isn't checked by MOT centre, however if tyre is so old that it is showing signs if cracking or being perished then could fail still.
