Citoen Speedlines???

[vtrdunc]

I got offered a set of what they described as Citroen Speedlines today dirt cheap. They are 14" and look like this:

Are they actually Citroen wheels or just Speedline wheels which someone has stuck Citroen centre caps on?

Next question is are they worth much considering they are bubbling and only have 3 tyres with 5mm tread on?

Apologies if this is the wrong section but I need a fairly quick answer.
Thanks in advance....

[saxo_singh]

how much they been offered for?

[R32_Ian]

price £

[vtrdunc]

only £60

[R32_Ian]

buy them and sell them on ebay defo should get a profit unless yiu want to keep them

[SaxoIOW]

iicr speedline did make some citroen ones and they are very rare. They go for a lot of money so could have got yourself a deal:y: Dont take my word for it though lol.

[Chris_O]

For £60 mate you can't really go wrong. I don't think they look bad tbh either

[CHIP]

At that price, i'd say they're not the genuine Citroen one's tbh. But still doesn't sound a bad price tbf.

They might not know what they are. These aren't being sold privately and are in a Cash Converters style shop.

Fuck it I'm going down tomorrow and gonna get them if they still have them. How can you tell if they're the real Citroen ones? and how much do they 'go for'?

I was gonna keep them and refurb them myself in anthracite but if they're rare I may do them in gold and sell them on.

[Bedford126]

if they are the genuine citroen ones they will have the citroen arrows stamped into the back if they are and you want to sell i know a couple of lads who will gladly buy them from you for about 400 without tyres.

as said they really are rare if there the genuine ones.

Ding ding I really hope they have the stamps on then as it could be Christmas come early!!!

[LSOfreak]

fook me, lol im gonna hunt every cash converters in wycombe first thing in the morn :y: joke im not really

[SaxoVTR2008]

Yer id get rid of where you found them.. As someone on this site is bound to head there before you tommorow and get them

[vtrdunc]

lol I doubt they're the rare ones anyway and it wasn't in Wycombe that I saw them so they can look all they want!

Correct. When i was looking for some for my vts a set of new genuine ones went for nigh on a grand.

[vtrdunc]

Picked them up. Don't think they're the rare ones coz I can't see a stamp on them. Is it actually imprinted on the wheels?

Anyway here they are:

(no Citroen markings, just says ITALY, ET16, PCD 108 etc)

I think if my car was lowered they'd look alright but I'm not sure. They all need a full refurb and 2 new tyres. If I refurbed I think they'd be anthracite or possibly Old English White.

What do you think? Any ideas?

Also can the heavy kerbing and slight flat spots be repaired or will I have to file down the edge of the wheel?

[swampy]

the one in the top pic with the massive dint in the rim id be looking to get that sorted prior to driving on them or selling them!!!

looking at the condition you can see why they only wanted sixty quid for them

[Sparky26]

refurb ftw!!

[VTR-GAZzA]

I'd referb them if I was you, I you keep em on your car go for anthricite but if you sell them referb them all properly

[craig180]

Look genuine to me. they were available as an option in 1998/1999

[Giraffe]

I'd make sure they aren't buckled before you go any further, probably not like, but worth checking

[jeffchiz]

always loved these wheels, didnt the saxo san remo have these wheels?

[craig180]

No they had Comp MO 5 spokes in white

[jeffchiz]

yea i just looked at an old san remo thread lol

[MiniGibbo]

If they where fakes they wouldnt have speedline on them with all that copyright jazz..

[moxy89]

yes there really not that rare and that price is not to bad i got a set for £66 that are in alot better condition than that.. they dont seem to sell for much as gold is fail and there only 14's

[jeffchiz]

they are on about if they are genuine citroen speed lines not if they are speedlines or not, if you get me lol

[bide_furio]

by the looks that genuine ones were only sold in france, and did have citreon sport printed on the front.

[ryanmt]

They are speedline comp2's. There were some citroen branded ones but they were basically the same wheel.

Good quality strong wheel, alot better than wolfrace and momo etc.

[MiniGibbo]

they are on about if they are genuine citroen speed lines not if they are speedlines or not, if you get me lol

Yer i see what you mean all i meant was even if they arnt these holygrail wheels at least there not fake speedlines :fcuk:

[jeffchiz]

ah i see, my mate sold a set for about £280 i think it was in rubbish condition, just as bad as the ones the OP bought

[ryanmt]

i bought a set of 15's in similar nick for £100. I cant see them going for much more than £100 in 14s

[Ben_C22]

i bought a set of them, the seller told me they had come off his limited edition saxo. i payed £60 for them and only slight curb mark on one. i wasnt fussed if they were limited edition or not i just wanted some 14inch speedline comp2 for my rallye.

[vtrdunc]

They don't look like they're buckled but you can never be too sure. Gonna look in to refurbing them. If I do them myself I need to sort the bad kerbing out first and slight flat spot. How can I get this sorted? Would an alloy refurb place do it do you reckon?

Also how much do you think it'll cost?

Once they're refurbed they won't be gold, that's for sure.

[GoonS_VTR]

needs lowering

[Dom]

£25-£50 per wheel depending on how good you want them

[vtrdunc]

£25-£50 per wheel depending on how good you want them

Would that include sorting the kerbing and flat spot? I only really need that doing as I can do the rest myself.

[MiniGibbo]

iirc they can fill them or weld them..

Some wheel places have serious skill, theres a local place to me named "alloy magic" and them seem pretty top notch.
