Default 20's for sale...

Ok kids it's come to a sad time in my life where i'm going to have to sell my 20's, main reason being i can't afford the tyres on the ****ty wage i'm on, if anyone's interested or has any questions just ask in this thread or PM me, open to offers but keep in mind they cost $3200 brand new, 2 have near new tyres (only 2,000k's on them) and 2 are in need of new tyres, one of which has slight gutter rash from me not paying attention when turning a corner, cheers

I knew that you would cry when you had to change the shoes. But they still look friggin awsome dude. A nice set of 18's will look good on there too ya know. Alot cheaper too

i know 225/35/20's you're looking at around $320+ per tyre for a low-mid range tyre. 225/30/20's are more rare, i was quoted over $400 when i inquired, but zetec20 may be able to get them cheaper. Just my experience.

ok rough price guide i want $2300, i can't move much from that price, tyres are $310 here in wollongong but i believe you can get them cheaper in sydney etc. I've had them since december last year and they're perfect bar the scratched one, I'm ****ed off that i have to sell them but have no choice, i am negotiable and i'd love to see them go to one of you guy because i know they would be looked after, PM me with offers and i'll let you know

Good luck selling . But I have to raise the point , that shouldn't you have thought about the cost of replacing tyres and potential resale value of these before you bought them ?.

Bad luck about what's happened here mate. I doubt that R20's would last long either. I reckon your car will look better with spotry (As opposed to the pimpish) style 18"s..

Good luck with the sale!

Sorry bud, showed the wife and she wasn't a big fan of the chrome look. Good luck with selling them regardless. Have you considered selling them on Ebay?

Much prefer those 18s to the chromies. Are they available in the 5x108 stud pattern or do they need to be drilled to suit? I'd love to get a set of deep dish rims at some point, would really set off the bulky wheel arches I reckon.

Quick pshop of my car with the wheels off my old car and a tweaked front bar:

btw, first post wooohoo!
