i watched them, went for £327,
but all 4 unmatched tyres really put me off,
i,m a bit particular about the black things that keep the car on the road.

I did bid on them and put a max of £300, but withdrew it as a bloke came up yesterday to clean up the rims cheaper, but he could'nt do it :(, so will have to go to plan B. The odd tyres did put me off a wee bit too

What they been used for, a display in a tyre shop window?

4 tyres, all different ranging from cheap crap to over rated expensive hard michelins.

I sincerely hope they're not buckled but i really want a set. Best looking mig wheels in my mind. Can upgrade tyres later. Any decent aftermarket Mig wheels would cost twice that & i don't think much to them anyway.
     I'll try 'em out tommorrow afternoon. I admit to being happy & worried at the same time................................................................
....................but i REALLY want a set!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      Fingers crossed. :-/

But if ever any of the alloys fitted to an Omega will buckle ... these are they!

Spoke to seller on phone. He says he bought them new from Vx 3 yrs ago for a grand, he hoped they'd make more, but he's upgrading to 19" jobbies Only covered 25-30k & not buckled. if he can afford a grand why do the have odd tyres? Got my reservations...can you all keep your fingers crossed please? I bid over what i wanted to by a few quid but if my gamble pays off????
    It's only the rims that matter. I'll ask for advice on best tyres later.
  BUT I LOVE MV6 RIMS!!!!!!!!!!!!  :D
    Wish i had a hopefull smilie!
