Oooops should have checked the link worked before i posted it! :embarassed:
Works now! :smiley:
The tyre doesn't look brand new to me as stated in the ad, looks well worn on the inner edge.
I think if anyone is interested they best take a look first in person as the ad doesn't look 100%.

Yes, I've e-mailed the seller and told him that neither the tyre nor the wheel look mint.

Oh, how I wish I had bought your mint Shadows.  :cry:

Have I missed something but why is he selling just one? Why would you have a supposedly mint spare one?

I suppose the only explanation is that he had it as a spare for his Mk6 and has sod the car. Still, it doesn't look mint to me. All 4 of mine look better than that after 22000 miles!!!!

Both the wheel and the tyre look tired. If that is what he calls mint then I don't know what mint is!

Glen:
You have good taste, full stop.
Now please answer my request about first refusal. :kiss:


No problem Asker...if, come spring, I'm getting rid of the Monzas, you can have first refusal.

Glen

You have such awesome taste in wheels, I love those very much  :drool: how much would a set of those put me back?

Umm...I don't know how much a new set is.

The sharp eyed will have noticed that mine have been used (valves and weights still fitted)...I am on good terms with the chap that runs VW Racing, so since this is the 5th & 6th set of wheels I've bought from them, I got a deal on the used wheels.

I just seem to attract wheels:




Love em... Really nice alloys and the 'Volkswagen Racing' lettering is a nice touch.

p.s. with a garage as clean and as organised as that you've to much time on your hands!  :grin:
