Item: 4 x TE37 18x9.5 +12 wheels with Falken FK452 225/40/18 tyres. PCD is 5x114.3.

Condition: Very good, no kerbing/guttering, a few knicks from use and tyre fitting/wheel balancing. Have been powdercoated black over the bronze anodizing by previous owner. Tyres have done 2000km of normal driving. (No skidding and no track time)

Location: Sunshine Coast, QLD.

Price: $2750 pickup or buyer pays transport costs.

Due to countless previous timewasters please read the following before contacting me.

While I would like to free up some extra cash, I've just applied the genuine decals and quite happy with how they look on my car now so if I can't get what I consider to be a fair price for the wheels I'll keep them.

Please don't contact me saying you bought your last set for $2200 so you'll give me that much, it really doesn't interest me.

If you want another colour, buy another colour, there are other sets for sale.

If there's a set that some guy on another forum has for $500 cheaper, buy his then, I don't really need to hear about it.

I'll entertain offers close to asking price for pickup only.

This is what the wheels owe me for those that are interested.

$2500 for bare rims w/o valves/decals or tyres.

$1000 for tyres fitted and balanced. (Review here http://www.1010tires...s/Falken/FK-452)

$100 for Project Kics black valves.

$100 for Genuine Volk decals.

Contact via PM or reply in thread. I'll give phone number to serious buyers as I'm a bit sick of $2000 cash sms's.

Thanks

Jamie

wait it makes no sense, y would you buy wheels just to sell them after spending money on them?

if you dont entertain offers then just keep them, no one cares what you paid for them if you want your wheels sold then your gonna have to drop the attitude and entertain offers

if your sick of 2000 dollar cash sms's stop advertising them, it comes with the territory of selling used items

Hi Jim,

I would like to sell them for the advertised price, as I wrote in the ad I'm not giving them away. A seller has the right to ask whatever price they like. I know what they are worth. I am not desperate to sell.

As clearly explained if they sell then good, if not I'd rather keep them then drop the price to what some people have been offering.

The attitude is there to hopefully separate the serious buyers from the bargain hunting lowballers.

take it from me there is no way to separate them and you just have to put up with them with a fake smile, but from experience if a bad attitude comes into it you will miss out on genuine buyers

the price is just fine for the wheels, but no one buys from a grump :nyaanyaa:

I actually quite enjoyed your ad Jamie and I feel your pain.

my two cents - I dont see the harm in trying to weed out the lowballers before they start throwing offers way under what you are asking. People who appreciate the value in what Jamie is asking I dont think will be put out by his indifference to what someone paid last year, for a totally different set, with half knacker rubber (for example).

I actually bought a set of brakes off this forum from a member that advertised in a similar manner - I was not put out at all by his frankness, paid his fair asking price and now we are both happy.

Good luck with the sale Jamie :) - its a fair price, especially given the rubber.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
