[Mk2] [Turbo] GAB Sport Lightweight Magnesium Alloys

Post by vogon »

Got these alloys sitting in my Shed, so i thought before i try and sell
them, I`d ask your advice on what i should do ??

Theve been damaged from my crash earlier this year but have been told they can be repaired.

The Question is if they were properly repaired and refurbed, how much would they be worth, i reakon to get them right would cost me in the region of £250 ish.

So would it be best to sell as is, or get them refurbed.

Oh they are 15", I`ve been told there very rare, and to be honest havent seen another set in this country.

:) :) :) :)


They are a nice alloy.

VERY LIGHT!

Your right though, they are darn rare, your the only person other than me who i have seen with them.

I checked on the internet a while back when i had the car, and coulnt find a price, the only place i saw was this USA site which sold rare Jap alloys, they were all expensive though.
The US folk pay silly money for genuine JDM stuff though.

P.S That is the same exhaust i had too! :) it rusted though, so had to get a new one. DOH!

I would also be asking what was damaged, as they are a 2 peice rim, so finding out exaclty whats wrong with them would be interesting

Drivers side front and rear were both kerbed, this is the worst one, sent pics of the damage of to my local wheel repairers and they said they could be repaired. But would need to see them before they would give me a price.
