    Lightbulb Apex wheels wanted - swap prefered

    Hi there,

    as some of you already know, I am going to collect Geoffs ZT.
    It seems that I will come over on january 14th.
    Although I like the wheels on the car, I prefer having Apex wheels and would like to swap.
    These are the ones Geoff has bought for the car:

    More details:
    The rears are 19 by 9 tyres 255/35/19, product code 1985ST
    The fronts are 19 by 8.5 tyres are 225/40/19 Product code 199ST

    The tyres are verdesein almost new on front and rears are better than half worn

    Start from Geoff (Stroud, 30 miles from Bristol) will be around lunchtime, then my journey back home goes across the bottom half of your country. So maybe there is somebody who would like to swap wheels with me then?

    Your apex should be in nearly mint condition with good tyres on it. (please no chinese "tyres"). So the deal should be to swap good wheels against good wheels. Afaik there are light and dark grey Apex wheels, or even black. I would prefer the dark grey wheels.

    So, if anybody is interested in swap or selling his Apex wheels, please PM me.

    These are silver Thomas not chrome, on 235's. I'm West Surrey just off J9 on the M25. No problem if you want to hold out for the darker chrome set. I would like to keep my darker set.

    Its a win-win, because I am not allowed to drive Geoffs wheels in Germany.

    Actually there is the choice between Tims light silver set and another dark set, with tyres I wouldn't prefer. Hard decision...

    Personally i would go for the silver wheels. i have just had mine done in silver also as the original finish does not last long and looks tatty very quickly. i had mine done less than 5000 miles ago in the original finish and they looked pretty poor after 8 months with flake and scratches just from cleaning.

    Maybe worth a look at Rimmers for new ones:

    Who did yours? I had mine redone in the original shadow chrome by Rimstock, who made them originally...
