Hi everybody,
I am after a set of Craters as I am sick to death of seeing my ruined 17's on the car. The craters do not have to be in the best condition and the tyres do not have to be good but if anyone has a set they want to get rid of, I would be interested. I can pick up within a reasonable radius or I can arrange a courier.
Cheers for looking guys!

what do they look like? I will have a set of whatever they called the T4 wheels up for grabs as soon as my other set are refubed.

They were a nice price but unfortunately they are sold. Shame though as I would have had them if they weren't too far.

@TwistedV40
What is wrong with your 17's??
I'm looking for a set (even if they need a refurb)
I know they are not craters, but I would also have a set of 16" ares to get rid of too.

The 17's need the polished lips sorted on them, but the paint on them is spot on. I've had them since I bought the car but I wouldn't mind getting a set of Volvo ones.
What are the tyres like on yours? I had a set of Ares on my old one and they looked good until I sold them lol Would you do a swap or p/x?

The tyres are all falken fk452's, 205/50/16, and they all have between 5-6mm tread left.
the only thing wrong with the wheels, is that a couple of spokes has the paint starting to bubble near the hub area-i'll post some close-up pics tomorrow
(there not close up pics, but the wheels are the ones on the v40 in my 'garage')
what are the tyres like on yours, and What colour is the paint?
I was going to suggest possibly a swap/px, any chance of some pictures of the 17's?

2 of the tyres are Nexen N3000 with about 3mm left and 2 are Nankang Ultra Sport NS-II with at least 6mm left (only replaced recently).
The paint on them is anthracite grey with one with slight chipping from being in the boot.
Oh, I forgot to mention there is some kerbing on the rims from the previous owner but nothing that cannot be repaired.
This is them on the car, I will try to get some more close up later:

Thanks for the pic,
Really sorry, but I'm not a fan of that style of wheel.
If/when I find a set of 17's, if yr still looking for some 16's I'll offer you first refusal on mine!

I'm after a set of ares if you still have them.
PS or gallactica or telesto
Have a set of craters that would be prepared to swap.
