Big stab in the dark...
 
Long story...

Bought a set of alloys for my V40 years ago, Wolfrace Street Mantis 17".

One of the wheels was sent to me defective, looks like somebody screwed up with the drilling machine (aftermarket wheels i think are drilled to the buyers cars specification) and put a slight bend into one of the wheels.

Long story short, the wheel was sent back and forth between the supplier (Rochford Tyres, so beware) and myself several times, where it ended up with the supplier saying because I'd messed them around so much, they were going to charge me £50 for the wheel back as apparently there was nothing wrong with it.

This was 5 years ago, since then THREE brand new alloy wheels with new tyres have been sat in my parents garage doing nothing.

I am about to have the tyres removed this week as a friend is after them, but as for the wheels themselves if theres any slight chance that somebody on here has the same wheels on the same car then i have 3 brand new wheels i am looking to get rid of.

Failing that I am seriously considering cutting my losses and trading them in for scrap value.

Put them on the bay. Another Mantis can be had for 99.00 so someone might want them.
