13" alloy wheels and tyres

[mfdriver]

Anyone got a set of classic mini 13" alloys and tyres in good condition they are looking to move on? 5.5J max. for my Mk 2 Bronze

I have a set of 4 classic mini 12 x 4.5J Mistral alloys with brand new Falken tyres I would be willing to do a deal on. Can send photo if interested in part exchange.

Some months ago I went to see some 13" Revolution RFX wheels in Dundee (5.5J I think) which I believe were the correct offset for a Bronze - I decided against buying them for my Gold despite the fact they had a reasonable (if I remember correctly) set of tyres on them. I think the owner (who, it turned out, also had a Gold in his workshop) was offering them for sale on eBay. Certainly a long way from you, but if you're keen, I can try and see if I still have his contact details.

If you could please - it's worth a go and if price OK a Courier may be the answer - can you remember what sort of money was involved?
Many thanks

Oddly, I don't have his full name or any contact number, but here's a link to his last attempt to sell them on eBay:

Even though the auction has finished, the "ask a question" link is still available, so you could try that.

I do have his actual address though, if it's any use.

Thanks for that - no reply from Dundee so still looking!

Since the sale isn't active, he may not be paying much notice to messages from eBay. The next time I'm nearby, I'll pay him a visit and ask him directly. Might manage that next week.

Do you ever come down south

[DavidL]

Occasionally. I'm the Scottish agent for a company who make offroad mobility scooters.

Guess where their factory is?

...Whiteparish, just south of Salisbury.

However, it's not a journey I make on a regular basis, but I'm probably there at least once a year.

My near neighbour, Colin Iles, used to work there!

Seller has now replied to say he has both gold set and white set available, so i am replying to ask how much he wants for either. I am not bothered about colour, just condition, as they will be resprayed anyway.
will keep you posted and many thanks for all your help.
what a great Forum this is!

Sounds like a good excuse to have a meet up, I'm not far away let me know if you pop down could also have a bit of a chat about the scooters oddly enough
