So I've taken these off and stored them away for winter once more, and am thinking about getting rid for something more interesting.
They're in pretty immaculate condition, the damage amounts two two stone chips and a little lacquer peel. There's also a little very light cobweb/surface scratching from the tyres being removed, but this will easily polish out. A set of these costs over £400 new, and I'd be selling them as bare alloys without tyres.

Wheel 3

Chip 2
Lacquer Peel
Just gauging interest at the moment, as if they wont make enough towards the next set of wheels I have my eyes on then I can't really justify it, as I'm piss poor
So what do you guys think? What are they worth?
Oh, and on the car they look like this:

Are these a direct fit on the 306?

Would love to tell you theyre only worth £50, but unfortunately £200 is probably about right.

To confirm, definitely no tyres, as the tyres that we're on them are on my winter wheels. Same goes for the bolts, I'm afraid.
They're direct fit, no spacers required, just a spigot ring, which will be fitted. Bolts are just standard tapers, I can measure them if you like.
EDIT: also note these are currently stored in Cornwall, but if you don't mind waiting a little while I can bring them up to Birmingham, or deliver them anywhere between the two.

Yeah, they're lovely wheels, I just fancy something new now!

Yeah, there's not much between them for me, tbh, similar styles.

thus my thinking would be a bit less than that?!
Yeah, that's what I had in mind, from previous experience tyres add very little to the price of second hand wheels, so I'd rather just keep mine.

Yes, only need spigot rings, which are supplied.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping for really, that'd pay for the wheels I'm looking for plus some money towards tyres.

Yeah, I saw the thread, seems to be the going rate, were yours direct fit? As i said above, I find tyres don't really add much to the value of alloys, and seeing as I'm not changing wheel size I'd rather keep them. Uniroyal RS2s only fetch £120 brand new anyway.

Why only 15" . If they were big enough to fit 330mm brembos under I'd bite your arm off!

They're too pretty for track wheels, buy pro race 1.2s like everyone else :-P
And I've no idea how much brake clearance they have tbh, they make my 266s look tiny though!

£150
and I say that because I think tyres make a big difference to the value of wheels.
lazers are scrap value without tyres....and cyclones arent far off.

Thanks god you'll be pleased to hear I'd ordered something to replace them within an hour of you paying me, and they'll be here tomorrow, only £54 posted too
I'll give my Dad a shout about packaging, should be in progress but he's self employed so his workload varies dramatically day-to-day.
