I saw a black set on ebay that were mega cheap, emailed him and they had just sold. He then said he had some others in silver, he emailed me some pictures and i bought them! Think it was from midland wheels they were called ??

Just had a butchers, I notice they are 18 x 9 ET45, not sure these will be ok on the vRS.  Although these could be an alternative -

What size tyres do you have fitted?

EDIT: Ran the sizes through an offset calulator and they are a no - compared to the Zenith they extend a further 25mm, after fitting 15mm spacers it was borderline rubber when the boot was loaded.   :sad1:

The good thing is the eBay ones are only 18 x 8 ET42.  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320726944288&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT :happy2:

I'd be tempted by some genuine ones at £600, especially in the new 'titanium' finish..  :happy2:

And the regular silver finish..

I thought I'd share this, below is my message to an eBay seller, imo not an unreasonable thing to ask:

My question -

Hi, I am very interested in these wheels but I am concerned about the quality, have you had any returns due to bending/buckling or issues with the finish lacquer peeling etc?  Also do you supply bolts for the wheels?

Thanks, Lee.


The response :

you are joking we only sell top quality wheels just look at our feed back

My reply:

No offence intended, but they are cheap for a set of 18" wheels, plus I have owned replicas in the past which have suffered the problems I mentioned.

And there reply:

not our wheels

Ok, so their feedback is 100% for a staggering 69 items sold  :indifferent: but to be fair that is based on delivery time and quality of product out of the box, not after 6 months driving over pot holes etc.....

My view is, fine so they claim the wheels they supply are top quality, pity about their attitude towards potential customers.   :angry015:
