martyyn 2 Report post Posted July 13, 2009 Buy a set of standard 16' rims on trademe for a couple of hundred with half decent tyres and sell the chromes seperately. There are plenty of options in the standard wheels and you will open up to a much bigger market. I just did that with the touring and I sold the car for the asking price and still have a couple of grands worth of Alpinas sitting in my garage. If Id sold them with the car I wouldve been lucky to get another $500. Strip it back to standard sell for a little less than your asking and flick the rims yourself. I never ceased to be amazed at how well this works. People dont want to buy the finished article, they either have the car already and just want the rims or vice versa.

laadeelaa 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Went to Mag Master off 15th ave in Tauranga today. To get the rim fixed and a 2nd hand tyre, exactly the same, is $260. Pretty happy about that. Getting so many text messages, asking if I want to swap for Audis. One is this...http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=229736218 Last time I checked, I said I didn't want anything but a BMW.

laadeelaa 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Actually I bought the car like that. Not my fault Waihi had two man holes beside each other sticking out the road. Could happen to others. P.s Atleast I had the balls to sort out my sh*t and change it, a fair amount of women couldn't change a tyre without help.

Yeah I asked for help, for an allen key, since I thought I lost mine... ...BUT, I found one in my pink tool kit that I bought from bunnings. Just more mad that they've been sweet, and then frigg out when I list the car on TM. It always seems to happen at the dumbest times. Yeah I had a cry. Over it.
