MTM Bimoto 19" alloys with tyres

[dan101smith]

Wheels are now back from being refurbished:







They're now a gunmetal grey with diamond cut faces, and the grey in the MTM logo.

They're all straight and balanced, and I measured all the tyres at 6mm of tread.

A set without tyres recently sold for £950, and a set with better brand tyres for £1460. I'd like somewhere in between that for these.

Now on eBay...

I would take them back off until the end of the month matey, you will get a better auction if you run it over 'pay day'

[dan101smith]

Hadn't thought of that.

They've got some bids on and a LOT of watchers, so I guess I should let it run now.

I've had the inevitable "what's your best price?", to which my reply of "what's your best offer?" got me "cash £150". Yeah, right.

Hi dan,do they come with the center caps and bimoto badges?

[dan101smith]

Hi, they come with centre caps, but they've got Audi badges on them rather than the Bimoto ones.

Will these fit a B5 RS4

[Mr Footlong]

Are these the forged ones made by BBS or are they the "softer" original ones? Makes a fair old difference IMO.

I'm afraid I don't know. Perhaps someone else can advise?

How can you tell the difference?

The hard type have some sort of stamp on them.

[dan101smith]

Excellent, I'll have a look for some sort of stamp then

[teknobod]

So someone didn't get a bargain on Ebay then!

Sorry, it was a crap post from me. Someone posted in the c5 forum that there was a specific stamp on the back that showed they were the forged type. Sadly this is still useless as I can't remember what the stamp is.
Take a picture of the markings on the back of the wheels.

The winning bidder has sent me a message asking if they'll fit an A3. Which they won't.

Given (s)he is asking this after the auction has finished, I can't see this transaction completing somehow...

lucky escape matey that was a proper kick in the boollocks bargain price, end of the month for a nice christmas prezzie for someone just in time for santa. Always helps to put a retail value for new ones on your ad, spices the punters up a bit and helps enforce the bargain buy. GLWS
