Come on mate, spill the beans, what are those for???

Spare rims for the drags

Which reminds me. I have a pair of 235x40x18 slicks no longer required. Soft compound stuff. Pirelli's from memory, though I need to check if anyone is interested.

Just a bit of friendly advice Rich. Make sure you ask for an assurance that the rims are straight and true and get a tyre shop to spin them up on a balancer before parting with your cash. A lot of people sell rims because they're knackered. I had the same experience just last week with some old BMW ones.

You can't afford to be wobbling about up the strip. It's not very nice when your back end wants to say hello to the front! Wheel tramp is a problem without letting a duffer induce it for you.!
