Haha the ebay heard mentality makes me laugh if people think they're getting a bargain they'll bid like mad until its not a bargain anymore.

I remember when my mate bought his house there was an old chest freezer in it which he chucked on ebay expecting a few quid & it sold for about £150 which was about £30 less than a same model brand new  :laugh:

mk4's are cheap enough for young drivers now, and they are switched onto the concept of oem alloys for insurance purposes. i have seen those fetch that without tyres

plus OEM means better quality as standard...or at least less chance of a duff set.
