I have one with a virtually brand new Pirelli 6000 tyre on - £40 & I'm only down the road in Harrogate !

Let me know if any good - if you've buckled your alloy that bad, chances are the tyre sidewall is damaged as well.

Cheers,

John.

Hi John

Many thanks.

I've just put in a bid for the Ebay one!

Good point about the damage to the tyre, but I have a feeling the damage was done before the current tyre was put on. The tyre depot have inspected it and declared it sound.

The vibration only showed up when I put the wheel on the front. Believe it or not, I reckon that wheel has spent pretty much most of the last 16 years on the back of the car!

When I think back, when I bought the car back in 2004/5 from Harratts in Wakefield it had a bit of a vibration then, which they 'cured' by fitting a new tyre before I took delivery. I reckon that wheel was possibly buckled then, but it has been on the back of the car through successive tyre changes for the past 8 years and 210,000 miles!

That one you have with a near new Pirelli is undoubtedly worth the money, but if I can get the Ebay for £20 that'd be great as really, I only need the wheel, not the tyre.

If I don't get the Ebay one I'll get back to you. As you say, Harrogate is only up the road!

Cheers

Jack

Darn it! Missed that £20 wheel by £1!

Should have been keeping a closer watch!

Anyone got any offers?
