With this in mind how much are virtually new sets of 17" Flames or 17" Crowns worth with tyres?

By selling the bumpers and wheels I am hoping it will go some way towards funding the 105's

Now before people start saying, check the classifiedes eBay etc - I have noticed a few in the classifieds here, however none have a price on them, and they never seem to crop up on ebay very often (not th enew R56 style anyway). Given that and what people advertise them for and what they actually sell for are two different things, so if there is a general going rate?

Get your dealer to buy your 17's as part of the deal. My dealer gave me £500 for mine and a discount on the R105's leaving a balance of £775. You'll not get more than £500 selling them privately.

The bumper sets are not fetching very much for some reason ( if i had a cooper i'd be after a set ) They have cropped up on e-bay a few times ( one on at moment IIRC ) and they struggle to fetch any higher than £160-200.

Nice colour choice / combo by the way

as long as you don't live close to me
