I know that feeling, had to go out in the rain yesterday to take the buckled wheel off and deliver it to the repairer wish I'd not bothered changing the wheels now :-( yes the 2nd hand ones I got look nicer and suit the car better but, the seller forgot to mention one was slighty buckled (caused steering wheel vibration @speed), and that all 4 tyres are very badly worn on the inside edge/shoulder to the point where 2 are virtually illegal!!, been on and lodged a complaint with egay and the guys responded saying send the wheels back for a refund which I can't do (unless I leave the car on blocks!) so I'm £24 out of pocket for the balancing, £45-50 for the buckle repair and a good £200 for the new tyres so my bargin wheel are turning into a nightmare!!!!, wish I'd kept the other ones and not bothered!

Sheesh! eBay can be a great place but can also throw up a few dodgy deals too!

I saw the thread the wheels I've got are running 225/45 so would want the 4 tyres to be the same, thinking about cutting my losses and sending the wheels back, and just biting the bullet and getting new wheels.....
