Hi

I have a set of 4 16 craters, all with decent tyres for sale. Two alloys are good, two are scruffy, could do with a refurb. They are perfectly useable however and don't lose pressure. centre caps for each.

If interested, I can get photos of each. Not looking for too much (round about £100 for the set).

Cheers

I'll get some pics sorted out tomorrow hopefully (they're in my mates lockup at present....)

And steady now, don't disappear into any craters, especially around Iceland. LOL!

I got my other set of alloys and tyres delivered from Southport to here for £35, though not sure who that was with, as it was done through a local courier. And just so you are aware, for some reason, it works out cheaper if the seller arranges the courier, or so I was advised when I was arranging freight for these!

Cheers

Guys, if it helps anyone, have a look on ebay for courier services. There are many out there who bulk buy delieveries from DHL, ParcelForce, UPS etc and have very cheap prices. For example something like this. 48hrs Parcel Delivery Service Up to 32kg £6.45 + vat HDNL
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/48hrs-Parcel-C...item1e5bb537ba

I am not recommending the specific one, but you can have a look in that section of ebay and find many cheaper quotes.

I hope it helps and it is a lot cheaper than thieving Parcelforce.

Gmain buddy am I correct in understanding that if you arrange the courier it will be cheaper? No problem with me and thanks for the pics. If you can get the wheels to me for the £100 including delivery you have a deal old chum. If I'm going to refurb two of them as you've said that gives me a little bit to do that.

I can make payment using Paypal if thats easier.

I'm not allowed to PM anyone yet so this will have to continue in this open forum.

Cheers
