My new winter wheels and tyres - bell-auto-services - 31-10-2011 08:30pm
Hi all
After much thought and deliberation ive ordered from Ebay some 18" 5x108 stud patern 8J wide with a 55 offset Freelander 2 wheels i found that were advertised as NEW, Though i bid and won them on ebay I chose the option of calling the seller as to save him on paypal fees as i know this is very costly for a business seller.
The wheels i ordered are here in the link below and are 18" he also has some more for sale including 17".

So i called them up to make the payment and while i was on the phone i asked what tyres they had available that were 235/60/18 which is one of the options for the Evoque in the LR catalouge. He had available some Avon Ranger Ice tyres for about 110+vat each inc free fitting to my wheels and ballancing which was far cheaper than i could buy the tyres for from my own suppliers, so i opted for these while i was on the phone and paid the bill.
Today they turned up with a coruier all wrapped seperatly with card board on the rims to protect them and brown tape. I openedthe wheels one by one and just as he said in the advert there are BRAND NEW take off wheels and they still had the landrover white paper stickers intact to prove it. So thats me a happy bunny.
Im in no way connected to this company but from my experience with this order this company has done me a perfect service and im reccomending to you them for it. The service was outstanding and could not have been easer. I was on the phone to a bloke called Shaun though im sure all of the staff will do a good job.
Here is some pics of what i got from them. Ive also ordered a spare set of RangeRover centre caps from LandRoover for them for about 8 quid each.

Yes its always a scary moment when buying wheels on Ebay i must admit. It was nice to see the original stickers and factory labeling on the inside of the wheels, and its also nice they didnt mark the rims when taking off the original tyres that will have come with them from the factory.
