Right, this lot is now up and running

so it's time to properly get into this now...

Thanks for those that have expressed an interest in bits but been patient so far.

First page is updated with running list of what's dibs'd/sold so check back there.

Size/manufacturer markings on the wheels (I know gentleman's sausage-all about wheel sizing beyond rim size - which is 17" in this case, so this hopefully saves further uncomfortable questions);

I know they are genuine

though

No centre caps.
I can add photo's of the tyres tonight hopefully.

Those wheels are proper

Anyone needing wheels and wanting to be different, these are for you!

Sticking to that age old adage for car electrics: If in any doubt as to whether you've used enough connectors per inch of wire... Just add some more for good measure!

Ok, details of the tyres on the alloys.
Size is 215/40 R17

2 pairs Continentals ContiPremium Contact2 Extra Load sidewalls, with loads of tread on.

One has a chunk out of the alloy protector bead, not affecting the tyre integrity

and a small cut in the same bit (just above where is says "Radial")

The cut goes downwards through the wall towards the rim, rather than sideways through the wall into the middle of the tyre.
Neither of these faults cause me to lose any sleep driving the car.

The other 2 are Falken's Zeix ZE912 and they're both legal with reasonable tread left, but one has slight uneven wear.

The alloys are straight and true, nice and light with no dings/dents. There are scuff marks on the lips of all 4 of them that aren't deep and would take a simple refurb. There is one reasonably deep scrape on one of them (see pic). That's the only 'noteworthy' damage though.

I have to say the car drove superbly with these on, really handled and gripped well. It's also lowered and there were no problems with rubbing. I reckon this must be about ideal size alloy/tyre combo for a lude?!

£150 collected.
