Question about Ebay wheel deals.....
 

Seeing alot of wheel/tyre combos for about £400 ish.....

what's the catch? I'm guessing weight is an issue, cr@p tyres (although they're ZR rated)

Has anybody had some?

The reason being is that I'm weighing up the options - need new tyres soon.
£400 will buy me some decent tyres that will last 12 months.

£400 will also buy me some different (ie fancy a change) wheels & tyres, that will last about 12 months......

What's the catch?

had some 18s for a vw about 12 months ago , no probs still on same tyres, would do same again

I got some 18's for my VW passat over a year ago and Im on the same tyres too although not driven the car since end of Feb. never had a prob with them and as per above Id buy again too.

Usually cheap Enduro or Fullrun tyres - can usually pay extra to upgrade

Wheels are usually replicas which can last as long as origionals (make sure they're JWL approved) but some chinease reps are about as well - soft alloy (prone to bending).
Also be wary of polished wheels as the laquer is poor and water gets under very quickly peeling it off
