4 mins to go on Ebay

[tinman0]

I'm trying to buy some new wheels - 4 minutes to run and i'm biting my finger nails.

does anyone else do this? and do you think playing OHMSS by Propeller Heads maybe adding to the tension...

Problem is these days people use software that waits until seconds are left to out bid everyone. Good luck!

These?

Did you see those Golf wheels on The Garage last week?

Three were absolutely knackered by potholes, only visible from the inside.

Is it safe to buy them on ebay...?

Lets hope some nigerian scumbag scammer doesnt jump in at the last minute, pay over the odds, and it up for everyone.

That really would be nice given my experiences of ebay of late..

i am actually very pleased. next week i have new front discs and pads arriving, plus the wheels, so i just need to sort out tyres now. the weekend after we are driving down to the south of france with the car and I'm so chuffed that it should all be completed by then. its all come together rather nicely.

If the wheels are used, make sure they're round before you fit them.

The ones I mentioned were revealed as shot only when the car was on a lift and the wheels spun by hand.....

they are sold as new, and a few other people on an MG forum have had good things to say about the seller. also, the seller has had refurb wheels in the past and put them up as refurb in the main description, so he seems honest enough.
