Got pulled over many years ago and the cop brought this up. Threatened to ticket me for it as is considered an offence to have the incorrect address according to him. You change it by getting a new licence from VTNZ or the like, circa $50. When i got my 10 year renewal i ticked not to display an address. New licence came in the post. Old address still on it and another $50 to change it. Haven't bothered.

This is the sad truth now. People got cheap and wheels got expensive. Also the supply of decent used wheels to refurb dried up

BBS never released the formula on how to achieve the correct gold sadly. Your best bet is to have the current finish colour matched then mixed up. Even this won't be exact but will be close.

Depends how the car is used. A few track days annihilate CCM but normal/spirited road driving you'll hardly even have to change pads.

Cars thrashed from new always drive better ?

Main thing that get's me is they say they had it valued at 38k but won't divulge which company/individual did the valuation....

Only $12K. That's gotta hurt......

Colleague went to look at it....basically you'd only buy it for the wheels and engine to part out was the verdict

Are the wheels genuine ACS?

If you search 'Hartge' in Facebook marketplace a set will come up. Asking was $800. He hasn't checked for buckles so would recommend making the purchase subject to that.

Import or NZ new?

Ah, they closed down recently. My set of BBS was the last job they did. Stellar job so unfortunate that they're gone.

Just as a side note, where were you quoted $40 to dip/blast them? That's super cheap

Too late, https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1665698868 Need the space back anyway. Too many sets of wheels on the go currently

Ah well, will just $1 reserve them and see where the market puts the price
