Interested in 17" wheels on ebay
« on: 18 June 2009, 17:08:31 »

I'm interested in these wheels on ebay, though the excuse for selling them sounds a little suspect, and with a Zero feedback, do you think I ought to forget it or still go for them ?.

Any advice / thoughts on it please ?.

Thanks.  :-?

They look a bit like they've just been rinsed over with a hose, ergo perhaps look a bit nicer than they, in reality, are.

You might as well do my trick, wait until the poor sod drops his price after no-one bids! Thats what people normally do to me when i try and sell something on Vbay! :y

Reason I'm asking is that I don't like the look of the 16" CD alloys on mine, and fancy going up to least 17" wheels.
Plus my tyre will need replacing soon anyhow.

Guess I'll watch them, though got a feeling someone will have them anyway, even if I don't !.

Don't think zero feedback is problem in this case as it is collection only, so you get to see them before parting with your cash.
I no a winning bid is binding, but if they are in a worse condition than described then you don't have to accept them.

Tyre size in the add needs clarification (335??) - plus the tyres dont look that new.... maybe ask them to send you a pic of each wheel before you bid.  If they turn out to be good alloys and nearly new tyres then thats a fair price - but when any item has such a minimal description is always makes me wonder..... I always give a full description of anything I sell on ebay so that it's a fair auction.

Hmm, i like the sound of these 220quid ones, over the ebay fellers, yeah.

Second hand wheels/tyres has to be bargain of the century, when compared with brand new prices/fitment/balancing. But if these ebay 17s are Yingtong tyres, or whatever, might not be as much of a bargain, hmmm....

How much of a bargain is it if the no-name tyres promptly throw you off the road at the first corner?? Keep to known rubber - it is what holds you on to the road (well, that and gravity!)
