Are these becoming a rare wheel to get hold of?
Whilstever they've been done to death and every other Corsa B is wearing a set, theres only 1 set for sale on eBay at the minute and I've only seen 1 or 2 sets recently on the classifieds.
Any one know what a mint condition set, with 4 good tyres is worth?
Cheers

Wonder if thats why people are holding on to them and not selling 2nd hand then. Any idea where to buy them new, I've not found a dealer selling them?

Thanks Andy.
Mine are newly refurbed and got a full set of Falken tyres all with good tread, what do you think there worth £350 - £400?

Prices are up and down all the time on them.
I struggled to get £300 for a mint set with mint Falken tyres. Ended up selling for £280 and done a 60 mile round trip.
Done ok though as i only paid £120 for them a few days previous.

Years ago, I threw three away, because my Cavalier was written off and I didn't have a full set. Had no idea where to get one from. Didn't know they were still made, even then. Plus I had nothing Vauxhall to put them on.
I now have a Nova on standard steels. D'OH!!!!!!!

There was a period between around 97 - 2000 where they did stop making them.
I remember wanting a set and none where for sale, bought some as soon as they went back in to production
Still have one of them now

I remember about 8 years ago me and my bro found a set in a scrappies. They were still on the car, and looked brand new. Got them for £200. Guy didn't know what he had.

I'm tempted to sell mine, purely to raise the funds for another set of wheels but I'm worried I won't get what they are worth at this time of year with just having Christmas.

I so wish i'd kept mine now. Could have bought one bloody wheel and a new set of caps/plates and had a lovely full set for my Merit.
I had SO many old wheels at the time though. They were clogging the garage up something rotten and scrap was worthless, so I chucked em.
