You have a buy it now for £210 but what happens if the sell for say £150? Do you want £210? If so put a reserve on it.

problem is a reserve always puts people off is a hard choice when it comes to reserve your bidding just to be at a price and starting to high doesn't welcome people 99p starting bid 7 day auction end it on a Sunday evening.

If you include new tyres in the title listing and make of them they should make your money if the wheels don't new 17" tyres are not cheap so £150 for four new tyres is worth the money and they get some alloys aswell :grin:

personally id not have put them on untill you know all the details, nobody is going to purchaise them not knowing the exact pcd etc. so cant really see you getting any bids untill thats put on, wasted day or so on ebay imo.

the residue on the wheels you speak of, i assume that is worming under the lacquer caused by moisture ingress.

Sam, go change your manpon dude. End of the day, I'll do what I sodding well want! If you have nothing nice to say why waste your breath? Atleast other people bother responding with something actually worth reading.

Yeah thanks guys, thing is Mcgee I don't know where I find half the things on the wheels.

An yeah that's what I thought Shizzle lol.

Wasting breath? I think the irony of that may be lost on you. We told you what to put in the listing, then you ignored everything that you were told and listed the item anyway and now want to be spoon fed answers that only you have (should be written on the wheel somewhere or failing that in the wolfrace catalogue using google). Look, we are a nice bunch and willing to help so long as you are willing to help yourself. Do you at least have a model number and what they came off?  :smiley:

you can also measure a rough pcd with a pair of calipers.

theres even calculators on the internet that will do the maths for you, all you need to know is diameter of the bolt holes, how many bolt holes, and distance between them simple maths gives you the answer...

Thanks guys, my friend currently has the Wheels. So I can't get any of these measurements that's the problem.

Or that crappy glue that seals tyres on the rim?

I thought armed with better knowledge and information would yield a better chance of selling, in a sea world of alloys for sale, plus covering yourself over bad feed back wait free listing until Thursday still had time though? :nerd:
