These are very cheap, and winter tyres.
Why go aftermarket when you can have 20” RS spiders for £1300 as linked above.

Those wheels have stolen or scam written all over them.

If you can go there and view them it may work, otherwise, I agree, FB is full of scammers.

I see they're in Nottingham. If the address is anywhere near The Meadows go with someone riding shotgun.

Yeah he’s changed his name to Stratstone and he doesn’t give anything to the poor any more! 😂

Picked up a set of OE 19s with very good N0 Dunlops for just over £500. Really pleased.

Thanks for the tips and links guys.

Were they on ebay ending last night? I saw them and thought the tread depths looked good despite not being listed. Bargain.

Possibly. They had 6 days to run but had the option to make an offer and our offer was accepted.

There is another set on there for £700 and they have 5-6mm across them, so also good. No bids on that set but they have been re-listed this morning. Could be worth a cheeky offer.
