Cost Price Speedlines

[james_h]

I have a good friend who is a wheel engineer (he designs the Mclaren F1 team wheels! nice work if you can get it) who through his contacts he can get me a set of Speedlines at cost price Renault would pay....(believe me this is cheap and a lot cheaper than to a general UK retailer as Renault buy shed loads)...

Just in a dilemma what to do - it's too good an offer to turn down.

Thinking of 200 Gloss Black Speedlines, but could have anything they currently manufacture (which isn't a lot for the current Clio I don't think)..

The trouble is I love the cup anthracites I have, and buying a second set of something new would only mean me using them as a track wheel probably which could be a waste..

Suggestions?

Get the Speedlies in black. I got a set of brand new cup race wheels for almost half the price Renault want for them. Tis shockin tbh.

I think the markup is around 400% looking at the cost price :@

This is what I have been thinking tbh mate. Even if I don't use them I could sell them on and still probably make a good profit. It's just the storage that is a bit of a problem. Can only just about fit the car in the garage and the shed is full :-( If they were old I would store them under a bit of tarpualin behind the garage - don't really want to do that with brand new alloys and possibly tyres.

I'd be very interested in a set, at a slight mark-up obviously, if you get the opportunity of more than one.

I think I'm pushing my luck with this set tbh. He would be saying they are for him .
