Btw, Did you paint the drums with red color?

karankapoor · 26th February 2009, 12:03

@sanjz i think there is something wrong with the pics you had stated that alloys are sc01 but only the 1st pic is of sco1 and the in other pics the alloys is dash

and + there is no lip ?

1. I got a VFM quote of Rs.4100/Tyre for 195/60/R14 for Michelin Energy XM1+ whereas, nobody in the city is ready to offer below Rs.4500.

2. Free Wheel Alignment and Balance

3. No Charges for using Credit Card

While at the shop, i found one guy interested in buying my tyres and alloys, so quoted him total price of Rs.10K for 4 alloys and 5 tyres ( 35K kms done). He is darn interested to take them.

HR or Plati ( Black and Silver Finish) quoted 12K but i am going to pay him 11.5K for a set of 4 alloys.

5 Michelin Tyres ( 195/60/R14) : Rs.20,500
4 Alloys : Rs.11,500

A) Total : Rs. 32,000

B) Buyback : Rs.10,000

Effect Spend : Rs. 22,000

Isn't that a good deal?

suren181 · 26th February 2009, 14:41

Great Deal Avi. You do have your way don't you

Hey BTW why is it that your not thinking of 5 alloys yaar? Give it a thought and which model of alloys are you settling down for?

Thanks Suren

Going in for alloys and tyre change itself is major decision at this point of time. So reason for settling for 4 alloys is primarily to reduce the burden to some extent.

but, as you can see i have settled for the costliest ( or almost) tyres in the market so in a way i am not cutting any major corners
