Cheap astra alloys/tyres
« on: 20 December 2010, 16:03:29 »

Not the prettiest alloys, but look ok, but more importantly cheap tyres for someone nearer than I am.

Don't want to start an argument about offsets of astras and omegas, just saying they're cheap! :y :y

they're an auction anyway so there's chance for them to go for more than triple the current price

besides, bringing them to our attention will just increase the advert traffic, so they might not end up such a bargain

puts you off?? the illiterate ebay users create a goldmine of bargains because their lack of spelling makes their items harder to find!!

i've bagged some unreal steals on ebay cos of this, managed to get 3 fiesta alloys with tyres last xmas for £45, and thanks to so many people smashing into kerbs in the snow, i sold them for £220

Yeah too right it puts me off. I get bargains left, right and centre, and not just on eBay either. I get bargains everywhere and make a killing on them. But if someone doesn't even know what they're selling what confidence can you have in the quality of it or how well it's been maintained?

To the best of my knowledge these are 17" Astra wheels. I have no problems with them. Correct me if I'm wrong.
