[SGG]

The are some 2011 T5 16" steel rims on fleabay presently and the seller has sent me the following info

they came off a t5
Pcd 5x130
Bore hole 65.1

I have a 2006 T5 with 16" steel rims .. but I thought the PCD on T5s was 5x120 ..... did this change for later model T5s ??

What would people pay for a set of good condition steel rims ?

I bought a set with 70% tyres on for $175 2 months ago. That included hub caps centres and wheel studs

Hows the silver paint on the rims ... I see a lot of 16" rims where they start to pit and peel ... all four of my rims are shocking

Cost me about $150 to have my steelies blasted and powdercoated...never to peel again.

Mine were pretty good. I gave them a hell of a de grease and clean with brake clean. then sanded them back then hit them with a satin black rattle can.
cost me $20 to look bling, easy to touch up if i get a scratch from a curb strike too.

oh yer when i took the tyres off the old rims, I sold them for $80 so total cost of nice rims was $115.
I'd post pics but its way too hard on this forum.
