    I know [8(] Remember asking what they were worth when I came across em. Been standing for ages and were not pretty. Asked the guy where the 4th ones were and he told me he had gassed the centre out of it :lol:

    1500 for a set :lol: I probably got 25ish scrap value [8(]

    Prelude were originally 4x114.3 werent they? Cool!

    Still waiting on a quote from a machine shop. I may end up just getting a quote and then directing a potential buyer in the right direction, save paying to get them done when i intend to sell them.

    It is easy enough to drill to whatever pcd you wish but IMO re-drilled wheels just don`t look right,they may be safe, but seem a bit of a cheap ass way to sell wheels.I am thinking of those wheels with multi fitment.
    i would only do it if I thought it would be safe and be worth the hassle.I would be interested to know how much a machine shop charges for the service.
    You may increase your market but reduce the value in an other way also.

    I think you'll find that it is the very tools that i have listed above that allowed your fancy machines to be built in the first place ;) :lol:

    Thats what im thinking too. Will probably just sell them as they are to be honest. Still rare as hell and in fantastic condition.

    7x15" ET30 IIRC. Will look a bit lost on a Cossie though. Someone on Edition 38 is interested in them for a Ford KA.
