Many sellers now asking stupid money for pretty poor wheels
In our area it's £60 per wheel for a refurb and around £50 for a 13" tyre fitted.....Soon adds up for a set of 4

No one expects something for nothing, but an honest price to reflect the condition.
I have 4 refurbed Pepperpots in the garage with old tyres, but no plan to sell

Re: Wanted Original Laser wheels
At least Laser wheels haven't shrunk over the years though like Wagon Wheels. Imagine what that would be like, you go to order a new set of rims and find they can only be supplied as 10" rather than 13" any more.

It's a pity the price doesn't reflect the size of today's chocolate bar

Exactly Andy. They reduce the size, keep the cost the same (or actually increase it) and proclaim that it's for the health of the buyer.andyd wrote:It's a pity the price doesn't reflect the size of today's chocolate bar
Yeah, we really can't see through that!
