Alloys

Post by **DeKay** » 25 Oct 2004 03:29 pm

I'm after some alloys, any alloys (preferable 15" tho, and I would love original volvo ones)
the catch is I'm not really in a position to spend any "real" amounts of money on them (like over £50), so anybody that's got any, knows of any, can steal any.... I'd be uber-greatfull. I'm in brum at the moment, but I'll be goin back up north most weekends. I will be at the meet though, even if i have to walk! (I know that defeats the object of it being a car type meet thing, but I love irony!)

many thanks in advance

hmm you might get the early 14" 440/480 style alloy wheels for around that price, check out ebay.. obviously I can't post links but there are a couple on there (derbyshire - on the way back up north!).

Where abouts in brum are you? I in Birmingham too, and finally just bought a 360GLT. Ofcourse you have to bring your 340 too!

I've been in already, came home about an hour ago... the TIC makes me sad!

What road do you park on.. haven't seen a red 340 on the road I park on; Windsor Street South.. which is directly opposite PMT (Professional Music Technology) for people who wonder what the hell I'm talking about.

I usualy park on the car park right by PMT, outside bankrupt stock but i only usually take the car on a monday or a friday, cos I'm in late and the buses are shit around that time.
I'm in all day tomorrow, so drop us an email aned let me know when you're in

I'm in from 11.30 til about 3, have a gap at about 2pm.. where I'll go and get the car and park in millennium point car park so I don't have to carry the stuff too far! I'll drop you an email about then.

i've more wheels than cars, but i'm not sure what i'm doing about it yet

Post by **DeKay** » 26 Oct 2004 10:45 am

Hugh,
I would love a set if you've any going, where have you got them all from? I'm probably gonna trawl around my local scrappies when i go home on saturday, see what they've got going.

Post by **5lab** » 26 Oct 2004 12:17 pm

scrappies charge a LOT for wheels - normally ~ £30 each. i've got an extra set cos i brought some origional glt alloys for nessy, which i have, and grace came with a set of late glt alloys

I'd second the vote for the early 400 14" ones...

'Polux/Pollux' - VERY cheap! (Everyone seems to call *these* Atlas, but its not right...)

or

'Atlas' - not so cheap, but nicer IMO. Still fairly damn cheap!

Man...it took me AGES to find that Atlas pic.

cheers

James

Or you could just buy my old GLT wheels for peanuts and respray them

Think if I had a 340, i'd just make it look like a GLT.

Gota be better than 13" wheels and trims.. just? maybe?!
