Default 4 x XC90 19" Galateia Executive alloys & Micheline tyres

Hi everyone, I've decided to have a change and sell my genuine alloys and tyres. Please see the attached photos. As you know, these are genuine Volvo XC90 19" Galateia alloys that only ever came on the top of the range Executive xc90's. If you look closely at the photos you'll see they have 'XC' embossed into each alloy.... a really nice touch of exclusivity.

From memory when I checked last week there was about 4-5mm on each tyre (but I'm using the car several times a month to travel from Dorset to London) so tire tread depth may change. Got the tyres new earlier this year and I only really do motorway driving so the alloys and tyres are in prestine condition. There's no uneven wear on the tyres as I always get my tracking / balancing redone every 3-4 months. No marks at all on the alloys.

The tyres are top of the range all weather / season Micheline Latitude 255/50 R19. I opted for these as they are highly rated for safety in wet weather and for fuel economy.

I was looking for no less than £850 really but was advised by my Volvo mechanic these are highly sought after alloys and that I'll quite likely get more if I put them on eBay (I've looked for many months and none of these have ever come up for sale on eBay and another set sold on this forum in 2013 for £850). I'm in no immediate rush to sell them as I haven't brought my replacement alloys yet (I fancy a change) so haven't got around to putting an advert on eBay yet. So in essence I'm looking for offers above £850 including the tyres and centre Volvo caps. Interestingly, for comparison Volvo main dealers will order in a set of 4 Galateia alloys for £2420 (excluding tyres).

Would need to be cash on delivery / collection unless agreed otherwise in advance. I may be able to deliver free of charge depending on your location in the UK or you may collect from me in either Dorset or London.

PM me through the forum or send me your email address if you are interested.

These have now been sold to Chris. Thank you to everyone who PM'd me showing interest.

Thank you Chris for your great communication. I know they are going to a great home. I am going to miss these alloys as I've had so many xc90 owners tell me how lovely they are.
