Unhappy

Think the bidder could be in for a bit of a shock - they look exactly like the 16 inch alloys on my MY98 car, not 17 inch as advertised.

BTW Stroudy - not having a go at you, just a public service announcement for any new members who could be misled.

I know South West Tyres were selling a 17" wheel which looked EXACTLY like the MY99 alloys.

Maybe they are a set of these - although I would take along a tape measure personally...

Thanks

Remember Guys,

The "actual" measurement of the wheel is usually 1" bigger than the specified tyre size.

So while still misleading, the description is not entirely incorrect.

Anyway - just my ha'pennies worth
