Thread banter....

They arrived, pics when i get home.

[Godderz23]

So look what i'll be rocking this winter...

Got a set of 5 of these bad boys for £63 off ebay all with legal tyres.





(note: not my carpet!!)



Going to try and flog 1 of them, the guy wanted the whole set gone.

Not sure what to do with them, was considering spraying them up a differnt colour but to be honest they look pretty clean as they are, was expecting them to be flakey and scuffed but not a mark on any of them!

Not the prettiest but they'll do the job in hand.

So:

Leave standard?
Spray?
Spinning hub caps?

[alexperkins]

Are they 14s?

[Godderz23]

Yes mate. Have been told they'll fit over the brakes.

Your not going to say thats wrong are you

[alexperkins]

Phew! Yes they will fit so long as you havent upgraded to G60 280mms!

Whats the tyre size...just wanted to check their rolling radius for speedo reasons

[Godderz23]

Thank god, nearly had a minor stroke.

I'll have a look later and let you know!

[Godderz23]

Right so on collecting the wheels from my mums, turns out there not 14's but 13's!!

The ebay advert said 14's so have contacted him but as yet no reply!

However i had to pay £30 courier to get them to my house. Im guessing there's no point sending them back as i'll get my ebay refund but not the couriers.

Just gonna have to flog them and look again.

[alexperkins]

I did think that from the tyre size

Mate thats rather rubbish!

I would push for the fact hes misssold the item and you have had to pay for a courier to collect an incorrect item - get a FULL refund including him picking up them from yours as its his mistake!

If you have any problems, contact eBay and they will set him straight trust me

Failing that, i would think you could easily sell 5 steels with decent tyres for more than you paid on one of the forums!

[Godderz23]

Yeah i know. Bit gutted. They came from north wales. But i cant see ebay making him pay to fully refund the cost of the wheels plus 2 lots of courier (to me, then back to him).

I'll just flog them, they are pretty mint. Someone's gonna want some winters for sure.

[alexperkins]

Polo3 may take them! All 4x100 13inch jobbies over there

Theres two to consider

[Godderz23]

Thanks mate, gotta flog this set first.

Nothings ever easy.

Gutted about them being 13"s dude they would have done the job nicely too.

Hopefully you get a full refund or failing that sell them on for a profit

My tyres have started doing an interesting package! New steels with new tyres already fitted!

For our cars, choose Golf MK3 Cabriolet to get a 14" set of steels
