Any of you interested in some Nice Asanti wheels custom made for S Type?
I tried posting an ad in the classifieds, and it hasn't shown up yet (something about needing to be approved by a moderator) so I thought I would just ask on the S Type section.
I have some 20x8" 3 piece Asanti AF120 wheels I just bought used to put on my Volvo (same bolt pattern, 5x108) but found out I was misinformed by the seller that they would fit because he thought they had hubcentric rings.
These wheels retailed for over $5k new. They have curbing on each wheel, but besides that they are in great used condition and can very easily be reconditioned to like new. I can take better pics of all wheels and damage if anyone is interested. I am a veteran on swedespeed (same user name) and I also have an ebay account with 100% feedback with a rating of 293.
Looking for $2300, will consider best offers.
New photos, please note the wheels have not been cleaned/polished as well as they could be:

The great thing about 3 piece wheels is all you have to do is order 2 new lips with a bigger lip and you have staggered. I can call Asanti up tomorrow (today I guess) and ask how much it would cost to repair/re-chrome the lips and also how much it would cost to just order two new larger lips to give a stagger.
I figured for the price these really can't be beat, I am just pissed they won't fit my car, and after a little test fitting have realized that 8.5" is the widest I can fit on my car, so my idea of getting the center bore enlarged wouldn't matter. However, I guess I can see about getting a 1/2" smaller lips to fit my car...tempting.
I am negotiable on my price, feel free to make an offer via PM/Email if you'd like. I really don't have a lot of time to spend trying to make these wheels fit, so it seems like it would be easier to just sell to someone who has an S Type R since they were made for them.
Same wheels built for other cars sell for 2300-3400 used, some with tires some without. These are the only Asanti AF120s I have seen for Jags, so if you want some pretty unique wheels that can be fixed up pretty easily for much less than retail, let me know. Hypothetically, even if it cost $1k to get the lips all cleaned up you would still be getting a set of $5k wheels for $2k less than retail. I am in the process of taking better pics so hopefully will have them up Monday night at latest.
My other option is to get the hub bore enlarged and sell them to someone with a Volvo S60R, since they can accomodate the wider tires. I already have a couple guys that might be interested in them for their S60Rs.

Ok, just added the new photos to the original post. Tried to show the curbing, kind of hard to take pics of chrome. I also forgot to mention that there is a very reputable Chrome plating company near me that could probably redo the lips just as well if not better than Asanti could, I have sent them an email for a quote. If one of you guys were to want to order two larger lips to get a staggered setup than I would only need to get two of the original wheel lips replated. I am willing to go the extra mile on getting these sold, so just let me know if you have any questions, offers, etc. I have to get some sleep now, work comes early...

According to my local authorized Asanti dealership it is about $300/wheel for a brand new lip. They can be replated for half that or less by 3rd parties, he didn't find out from Asanti how much they charge for just repairing the current ones. I personally don't think they are that bad to begin with and most owners would still love them on their car as is.
Another option according to my local wheel repair shop is to powder coat them, which they said would be $500 or so to strip the chrome and powder coat them whatever color a person wanted. Stripping the chrome and refinishing the wheel would get rid of the slight curbings so the lips would be basically new.
Shoot me a PM/Email with a reasonable offer I can't refuse.

$1700 Shipped Con US. Local pickup in UT is also available for a discounted price. I would consider trades for high end electronics such as Apple products, nice handguns (glock, PPK, etc), or any other items someone thinks I might be interested. I just don't have room for these wheels. Contact me.
