Squares :thumbsup:

I couldn't sell the staggered set, so after much searching and digging I found a wheels dealer in Germany with two front spec rims. They weren't cheap and they needed a refurb so a costly exercise. They look good though imo, are similar to an original VW wheel and at least the tyres get used this way, and two of the original wheels. I also have a little more room available now.

I won't do the sums tho, i know i wouldn't like the answer.

I'm starting my clear,out soon.

A set of refurbished 435M style wheels with excellent Bridgestones
A set of refurbished 259s with new BMW * winter rubber, all unused

Along with the car these wont be joining me in Greece.

Hi hopefully you wont need winter tyres in Greece !

Looking in the next few years to move to the Canaries , health benefits out-way anything over here .

Looks like the wheels get a poor response on here along with cars , lots of people with deep pockets and critical remarks . Good luck with all of your sales and adventures .
regards

Winters in Greece can be similar to the UK, it rains a lot on our island and our home is on an unmade track. Winter tyres will be useful but also better used rather than just ageing and wasted.

I know the community here is small but i agree, selling anything is harder than getting an audience with HRH :D
