I'm in desperate need of a new set of wheels for my EB. I cant stand looking at polished S pack wheels for much longer!
Anyway I absolutely love these Speedy Legend wheels, http://speedywheels.com/alloy.htm , and I am wondering if anyone knows how much they'd be worth? I'm not sure if they come up second hand very often but I'd be happy with second hand wheels that are in good nick! I did a photoshop of these wheels on my car so heres a comparo: Stock Speedy Any help would be appreciated, I'm currently saving my dollars but it's happening very slowly! : Cheers Braden

Those wheels suit really well. ebs_4l has them on his car. They look great.
Not sure on prices but $1500 should cover it I would think.

Hmm, seems they have two different names, Speedy Graphites or Speedy Legends. (they look exactly the same.
Mine set me back $1700 for 4 with tyres from Tyrepower.

Yeah I think they suit the shape very well.
Heres the car I took the wheels from for the chop. I'd be very happy to pay $1500 for them!

That's not a photoshop.. you put the wheels on your car from someone elses e-series and took another photo, right?

Thinking alike eh Dan!
Kommandant: $1700 with tyres is pretty good. In your little pic yours seem to be a pretty flat finish compared to the ones on this white car which look more polished and shadowed.

Small bit of advice Braden... It would be worth spending an extra 100 or so upgrading the tyres from a budget to a mid class. Theres some real sshite tyres out there but for an extra 20 or 30 per corner you can get some good tread, thats if you can afford it...

Yeah I'll be getting mid range tread, when I bought my car the guy put new tyres on the rear but they were only $60 tyres and lasted only a few months...they might have had a hand in wearing tho! :hihi:
