My mate has a set of 16"/17" speedlines that he has just spent a fortune on being sent away and refurbed in silver, and then decided he'd prefer to keep his TD1.2's

 

They haven't even been fitted with tyres or bolted to a car yet

 

They include centre caps (badges slightly corroded, see pics) and loads of speedline corse stickers. I'm pretty sure these are original speedline wheels, you can see the speedline lettering inside the rim in the pics - please correct me if i'm wrong i'm no expert on the different speedlines and copies etc although I do own an original set myself and they looked the same before being refurbed silver.

 

The wheels are available for pickup from North Wales - near Chester (Queensferry). OR if you're not in a rush I could bring them to the Loughborough area as I travel between wales and loughborough fairly regularly. If you wanted to arrange a courier to collect them i'm sure that would be ok subject to funds clearing first etc etc

 

Also, if interested, he has a set of silver flush fit valves that can be yours for an additional £20 if you fancy.

 

If you are interested call Antonio 07960410235

Do they all have Speedline written on them?

 

What's the easiest way to tell if these are indeed genuine Speedlines folks? Actually quite like these in silver...

He has a set of magnesium which arent on the car so could probably check quite easily

[Guy009]

Thanks for the info. They aren't mags, just standard original speedlines. I checked mine and they are the same, speedline stamped on the front but just symbols on the back. Get em bought fruits

[Guy009]

here's some pics of the inside of the rears just in case there was any doubt

 

 

 

If anyone is interested in the same wheels but painted in VXR black with kumho KU31's on them give me a shout i might be persuaded to sell and put these silver ones on mine

[chris_uk]

Mag wheels are lighter than that are they not?

[nicollow]

Normally hate Speedlines, but they look lush...

bump..

[ratboiler]

If you want a run up to Bedford i have an original set on my car that you can take a look at.

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

why was they refurbed if never fitted to a car?

 

[Guy009]

Thanks ratboiler, they are definitely originals I've/we've checked a couple of sets now, there was on the confusion due to the way the speedlines are stamped up.

 

 

Stuwy - he was about to replace his mint TD1.2's with them as he loves the look of them (look nice in silver I think) but then he realised how much heavier the speedlines are compared to the TD's.

 

Mine don't bother me but he's spent hours stripping out unwanted weight from the car so putting an additional ~10kg into the car made him sick. So he's selling them on at a loss really.

 

I'd quite happily take them but I need to sell my black ones to fund it lol
