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.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
