Wheels wanted

I know this is quite a big ask, but I'd love to get my hands on a complete set of wheels to get restored for me to mount my barely worn Good Year NCT's on for concourse backup use.
Anyone any ideas other than DMC themselves?
Cheers!

Hi Gary, the club have a complete set of wheels in stock.... However I *think* they are early VIN ones (dark grey rather than silver). If that it is the case then they are no good for you unless you re-do them (concours fail), which would be sacrilege if they are mint and/or unused as I suspect they may be.
Although if that is the case then I suppose a swap around would probably be doable if someone is after a set of grey ones who has the "wrong" ones (I can think of two people - one of which is considering a wheel refurbishment....).
Otherwise the obvious options to try are maybe Chris N (unlikely), maybe Dave H (unlikely) or Ed (£1500+shipping)
Shipping on the link above that Dermot has posted would be high, as would VAT (20%) and duty (4.5%), and they are also the wrong colour too.
I/we will have more info on the condition/colour club's wheels later in the week, probably Saturday.

Haven't you just fitted a set of lowering springs to your car?
The only thing those nct's are fit for, is stacking at the back of the garage for nostalgia.

Anyone I have ever come across who has tried to go the concourse route has run out of money!
Good luck though !

It's a bit of a thing over in the USA. But I don't know that we have concourse competitions for the DeLorean here in the UK do we? (because realistically, what's the point)

Don't do it for competitions mate. It's for self satisfaction as you'll know by my Marina

We have a betting book going on "who'll turn up on a flatbed recovery truck" competition
As long as they work, that's concourse enough for me
