i reckon they may look better in the flesh,

They actually arn't that good in the flesh.  I was having a trunk over a Pirelli in my local stealers last week, and just thought the whole car was a bit of disapointment compared to either the Ed30 or the original Pirelli.  Add to that the fact I fcukin hate Pirelli tyres, and I suppose it didn't stand a chance!

wonder what the sellers story is ?, not sure on the motorsport excuse looking at his previously sold booty !!

Agreed.  If the seller were a motorsport company, they'd be VAT registered, and want to put it all through their books, rather than cash-in-hand!

No, they SHOULD be putting it through their books, I highly doubt they WANT to which might be whats going on here ?

....My thoughts too! Damaged while removing in somewhat of a hurry! Just a gut feeling. It simply doesn't stand up to reason. Even if you did mod a Pirelli Edition for "motorsport" you'd keep the original special alloys to sell with the car later.

More likely to be recieving stolen goods and then selling on FleaBay than being the thieving scum themselves.

So how do these people get the wheels off without the locking wheel nut? Surely the point of the wheel nut is to stop people from taking off your wheels?!    Im scared now!

An old socket and a hammer usually does the job.
