Would you buy these?

[CircularOnline]

I am looking at possibly buying these 182 alloys that have recently been refurbished and powder coated in black for £500 inc postage. Anything I should be aware of? New to buying alloys and such just wondered if anyone could advise? I have some pics here:









Thanks for the advice beforehand

theres no way i'd pay 500 for them tbh, as looking at the bigger images the finish isn't that good so i'd say they've been a DIY job

 

[MrDave]

£500:lolup:

 

[wjb]

If you can get them for half that then it might be a good deal...

 

[mitch1503]

also what tyres are fitted?

Its the only black 182's ive seen for sale anywhere >.< Can not seem to find any decent wheels I did like these however considering the feedback and such Im gonna back off a little and see if I can get them down

+1 you could probably buy a 172 for 500 quid haha

 

[Sam@NP]

Expensive especially with those bargain bucket tyres.

Nobody in the history of 182 wheels has paid £500, not even from 0.0001mph.

I was nearly the first idiot too.... Thank you all for the help! Happy I paid to be a part of the site nice community.

 

[Knuckles]

[daveski]

So many better wheels for a Clio than those!

 

[Turbo tic]

Put in clio 182 in car parts and accessories united kindom

 

[DanEdser]

I'll sell ya my black 182 alloys for £500?

 

[Chi]

Top Tip: Never be the first bidder and if they don't get a bid ITS TOO EXPENSIVE!!!

 

[Alex5]

£500 is extortionate man ! They are worth maximum half of that ! Last resort just buy some standard ones and DIY spray them yourself its pretty easy

Yeah some of the guys above have gave some links to standard ones I wouldn't trust myself to spray them probably make them worse lol. I'm looking for a refurb company now that is cheap cheapest I've found is £65 a wheel

 

[Knuckles]

If you find a set in decent nick, they're a piece of piss to DIY respray... Especially on the slabs of spokes on the 182 alloys.

im sure there'll be a nearby member willing to help.

or, just try and get cup packed (anthracite) 182 alloys. I imagine they'll be more common and will look infinitely nicer than black ones

If you make a mess just rub down and try again.. Practice makes perfect

 

[CrippsCorner]

[stevescort172]

[Sunglasses_Ron]

50 a wheel aint that bad I guess what I could do is probably try DIY them if it comes out s**t then take it to the professionals...

Southend...

 

[Spinksy]

tbh if you have a £500 budget for some nice wheels I would put another £100 towards and get these!!!!

They hold value ridiculously well for if you ever fancy changing wheels or selling the car aswell

f*ck getting 182 wheels over the above lol

Got nothing more than £500 I like the 182 wheels I like the thickness of them and with the Campus they are very bold looking thick looking bumpers and such so these go well imo

Southend...

So you want £125 for these yeah?

might be worth a punt to see if he will go lower though?

and tbh you are probably going to have to space whatever wheels you get to have a wide stance with the clio whereas some after market 7.5J or 8J wouldn't need spacing
