Pitched these prices a tad high?! Open to sensible offers for individual wheels or for the set.

hi Tony looking for a spare wheel for my 260, although the 190 apex wheels are a different part number to the 260 I'm sure it will do as a spare. looking to spend around £80 plus p&p let me know what you think thanks chrissyboy.

Hi Tony.
I would say these would need a refurb, and the tyres arent up to much- may be priced a bit high.

Hi Chrissyboy, I'm going to say no as I think that this is a bit on the low side for one of these. Regards, Tony.

[pessling]

given the condition £80 seems a good price considering you'd have to spend another £30-50 for a refurb. and to be fair they are in a shite state

[AndyG]

NB. Newbies and some oldies :p

Check for cracks on the inside of any Apex wheels, including the ones on your car now.

:hug

There are good and bad refurbs, with prices to match. I reckon Peter's a bit conservative and that given the state of these, £80's absolute top limit.

I paid £550 for a brand new set of Vortex and £60 each for a top class refurb of five of my apex's, so at £80 each to buy........
:DuhDo the maths

[pessling]

that was £30-50 each

Thanks for your comment. I've decided to keep the shite wheels!

[pessling]

thats alright here to help, i brought some off ebay in simular condition which had to be refurbed so speaking from experience

[chrissyboy]

So guys has anybody got a spare apex wheel, no cracks prefer one not in a shit state! :stir chrissyboy.:funny

If you want it for a spare you don't necessarily need an Apex.

;)

[SH4RKY]

One of mine has an inside crack. Common fault then?

Had the crack for at least 2 years though, and still no air escaping etc. Will grab a spare when i see one for the right price though.

Get a new wheel ;)

I could be biased but: you could fill the tyre with a good tyre sealant.
If the air leaks it will seal the leak and (here it comes) put in a good product like Ultraseal USA (not Ultraseal UK) it will show up as a washable blue goo leaking out before it seals the leak.

£250 for a p/x refurb set

That is........£62.50 each

Have that done, then sell for £80 and you would still make £70

State they're in, £80 is to much, even with tyres

Have a look here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/0460-Service-Exchange-MG-ZT-11-Spoke-18-Alloy-wheels_W0QQitemZ230369508475QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET?hash=i tem35a317bc7b&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262)

Your link is for 11 spoke wheels not Apex and it is an exchange service not a part exhange - i.e. you have to have a set of Apexs to start the process. I also understand that they cannot refurbish to the original shadow chrome finish.

[Phil]

50 quid each (plus P+P) would seem reasonable for Apexes, considering the state they are in. I don't think second hand tyres are worth anything, personally.

There were two sets on the 75 club not that long ago, which needed a refurb, for £200.

It appears to be cheaper at some places to get a set of four refurbed than one at a time, but £220 - 250 seems to be average for four round here.

[NickZT]

I paid £250 for a set of five, then a further £220 to get them refurbished. Thats £470!! Ouch!! But they are the best looking wheels, and I do have a full size spare :)
