flyingmatt555 0 Posted June 30, 2013 17x7.5 bud, unless they've had bigger lips, in which case they won't be et33.. They have slightly wider than the standard lips I believe (I think they are 8inch wide on all 4, will check them. Tyres are 205 40 17 with a little stretch. ---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ---------- Tyre size and confirmation they are all stock wheels 205 40 17 tyres on P Zero Rossos. The will check but I believe they are 0.5in wider than standard all round. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C5 OEM 0 Posted July 1, 2013 Pictures of each wheel would help sort out the dishes and width Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted July 1, 2013 Pictures of each wheel would help sort out the dishes and width You want the world don't you? I'd have thought selling 2k wheels from a poor Ebay link with bad picture and incorrect info would be enough to satisfy 'serious enquiries'?' :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bristolbaron 10 Posted July 1, 2013 See my above post - if they are 8" wide they are no longer et33, its one or the other! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth192001 10 Posted July 1, 2013 What about the vw motorsport link is that true? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyingmatt555 0 Posted July 1, 2013 Guys - apologies for not including all the information the first time, link is updated if you follow it. Yes the VW Motorsport is true - only made in 1992 in limited numbers. Thanks - polite response are always welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philstrm250 10 Posted July 1, 2013 I agree with Bristol Baron, the 2 photo's in the advert are average and could be much better, showing close ups of each wheel would help with your sale. Yes they're a rare set of alloys but the set that OSV sold a while ago were in a superior condition compared to these. Serious buyers want to see quality close up pics. and a detailed description, especially of any damage or wear. Anyway, good luck with the sale.

ChrisL 18 Posted July 1, 2013 Yep, close ups definately required, have these wheels ever been split apart or are they in the original diamond cut laquered finish (which also increases the value in my opinion). Although if they are 8" wide they will have been split. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philstrm250 10 Posted July 1, 2013 Exactly Chris, RS301's can command serious money, but originality is key. It would appear that this set has been split then if they're 8" wide instead of 7.5". The quality of the refit and refurb. are important and also who carried out the work? Also the pic. of the car shows centre caps fitted but the 1 wheel pic. does not, are they included, genuine caps? Anyway shouldn't this be in the Ebay section? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C5 OEM 0 Posted July 2, 2013 The single one pictured is a standard size 7.5 wide, or at least it's looks like the stock dish on it.... Really need all four pictured.... I think the rears are 8,s and fronts stock Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C5 OEM 0 Posted July 3, 2013 But they are brand new and very hard to replicate that kind of finish.... Bought mine with tyres for £2300 and sold them within a day for the same money. Originality is a big factor with the correct dishes, three sets available at the moment which is a rare thing...lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
