Monaro VXR wheel needed

[Lee20k]

Hi all, has anyone got one of the below wheels laying around that they do not need anymore? Obviously no cracks or buckled etc.

[wozzza]

I have one sat doing nothing. Will need a new tyre as the one on there has a puncture and a refurb ideally. But it's available as I will likely be selling the Ro soon.

I am located in Devon so depending on location would need to courier it etc.

Hi Wozzza,what size is it? I am in Cumbria so will need couriering.

Those wheels are 19 inch. If it's a 245/35 tyre, then pumped up that'd have a little under 3.5 inches of sidewall, so say a pumped up wheel will be about 26 inches.

Sticking it in a well fitting square box to post it'll be about 26 inches x 26 inches x 9 inches, maybe 10 inches if you want a bit of padding to protect the face.

So about 66cm x 66cm x say 25cm to give some padding...

Weight wise they're fairly heavy, I'd bet 25kg with a tyre on

^ 1 x 19" Alloy Wheel and Tyre £19.99 inc. vat

I've used their services for many (too many) sets of wheels and MTBs, never had a problem. With wheels I stick a few layers of decent cardboard over the wheel face, similar to the rear, then wrap the whole thing in black big bags and a fkton of parcel tape, i.e. tyres are only protected by the bin bags. Never had a problem.

I remember turning down a full set of these vxr alloys with good but used tyres for £500 when i had my cv8 (it was a few years back now). Hope you get sorted.

Thanks for the offer but I would really like to stay with the ones I have.

Still looking, I know these are like rocking horse **** but would like to have a set and not go down the aftermarket route.
