I do not know the reference no (if there is any). i will find out & let you know. These wheels normally retail for 3 to 3.2k. Guess

EL, It looks really cool and goes well with the car colour as well. 10K is great deal. Congrats!!!

n_aditya · 19th March 2007, 10:58

Looks simple yet elegant John. Good choice there. Congrats. Clean lookin wheels with a very slight hint of bling... nice... goes very well with the car.

Do we now need ANOTHER reason to get together for a motor vigadan re-shoot?

slipstream · 19th March 2007, 12:10

hey john,

10k for a set of 5 new HR wheels ? you surely know where to fish for the biggest catch, pal !

wheels look cool anyway !

Cheers,

J

Nice Job. Pretty neat and conservative alloy design. For the price you paid for a set of 5 is daylight robbery. Was the dealer a relative or returning a favor?

esteem_lover · 19th March 2007, 14:14

Before anyone starts saying that i actually stole those rims or robbed them at knife point, let me clarify that this tyre dealer (not iraghava) is a nice & friendly chap from whom i had recently purchased my Michelin XM1s & also a set of 5 Pilot precedas for my friend's OHC. During that time I had told him that he was conveniently located (in a residential area) & that he could display more varities of alloys & other accessories. He took up on my idea & obviously made a small fortune. (thats not the reason why he gave this price) Before anyone thinks he is a small timer, he has 4 shops in chennai & 2 in Madurai.

for the last 5 months i have been bugging him for some decent used alloys. i saw a few & did not like them. So one day i visit him & he gives me this offer. He said these wheels have been lying around for a year & this year he has placed a huge order from HR & they had given him a good discount for these unsold wheels.

So he thought (& very rightly so) that he would pass the same to me without his margin so that i would stop bugging him & take those wheels & disappear from his shop forever. So there. Any questions ??

n_aditya · 19th March 2007, 14:22

John, pls put up a list of people you are currently bugging. I mite want something for my ride too.

nitrous · 19th March 2007, 14:32

The XL tyre point guy sold me 10 rupee worth tubeless valves for 50 bucks.
Since he overcharged me here, Esteem_Lover will pay for my track rent,this weekend.

esteem_lover · 19th March 2007, 14:34

Now, i know where that discount has been absorbed. LOL
