T6 wheels and tyres

[DessyParkerWigWam]

Thinking of getting some second hand T6 wheels (2019 - but been off the can since 2022) look in excellent condition and tyres have really good life - tread looks deep - but I’m not sure if I’m being ripped off - never bought wheels before - what would people estimate maybe a reasonable price to pay?

They are 235 55 zr17 103W - if that means anything to anyone

I would say it depends upon which wheels they are and their condition and which tyres (incl brand and age and miles covered) they are

Delivery mileage VW 17” wheels/tyres seem to sell at around £500 - £600.
Assuming the tyres are 6 years old, this could half the price .

Really helpful cheers - he was asking £200 - only really 3 years old as he had ones wheels fitted in 2022 and they sat in his garage ever since

They are in excellent condition -?think they were Dunlop tyres - no idea on miles covered they have been in his garage since 2022 - good tread depth on em though

As regards tyres, check date of manufacture on sidewall. Tyres, even though tread still very good have a ‘life expectancy’ and may suffer ‘cracking’ deterioration.

Tyre age can be found on the sidewall as part of the DOT code.

You don't say which wheel type/model is being offered but if all as you say £200 sounds a very good price.

this might sound silly, but not knowing what wheels they are, just make sure that they are compatible with your California. It's a T6 150 4 Motion ??
