The guy said they would need a clean !!!!!!

Post by mr wilks » Mon Jul 21, 2014 1:58 pm

Ive seen some shabby wheel's but just landed back from collecting a set of 19inch M6 reps that the seller described over the phone as " theyve been in the shed for 6 months & i think some birds have got in " " i can't be bothered cleaning em so make me an offer & they're yours "
so i did & they are but WoW ! i wasn't expecting to need surgical gloves & a mask

Out of interest, where do you buy your wheels from for refurbing Mr.W? Private ads, forums, Gumtree, eBay or all of the above?

Yep anywhere & everywhere , kinda taken over much of my social time but i do enjoy it so by that measure it isn't a chore :wink:
Generally check the usual places on daily basis & for every 3 or 4 offers made i usually get lucky once maybe twice ?
Plus you get to meet interesting folks like el Taco who i bought a set off on Saturday :) top fella :thumbsup:
