If the set goes fairly cheap fine but each wheel looks like it has a different brand of tyre on it, I don't mind fronts one brand and rears another but 4 totally different ones maybe not.

The spare wheel looks like a good find, probably never been on the car.

Agree about the tyres. The single wheel would make every other wheel look scruffy even if you had the others refurbed as it does look as though its never been near a car.

Still I will have a go at the 4 wheels if I can get them cheap enough.

Only trouble being in Liverpool 500 mile round trip.

Thanks for the heads up.

Way down south in Hampshire. Could be a good excuse to visits some long time friends in Lytham and St Annes.

A set of wheels like these sold for 30 quid last week, they were usual lexus condition but supposedly with decent tyres.

These look to have only one decent tyre in the pics, and two different style centre caps

I have a similar problem, I live up near the wheels you are looking at but the ones I'm after are down south!

If we can work it out what about a halfway meet. If your wheel are near me I can pick them up and vica versa and we meet somewhere in the middle.

Taking into account the cost of fuel, it would probably work out cheaper for you to pick each others wheels up, and then courier both sets to each other. Last set of wheels/tyres I shipped cost £35 if I remember correctly.

Would they courier 4 wheels complete with tyres?

What courier company did you use if you don't mind me asking?

I'll try and find their name. The ones they shipped for me, 2 had tyres, 2 didn't. But they did include 18x10 rears.

[abs66]

Thanks for that.

Search for wheel couriers on eBay, that's what I did when I wanted four Accord estate alloys with tyres collecting.

That was a couple of years back, they arrived unwrapped with just a label on each wheel at a cost of just under 30 quid IIRC.

[Bluesman]

Well I won the Wheels bargain for only £127

Will arrange for specialist wheel courier to pick them up next week and will let you know how it goes.
