I'm guessing I did quite well last year picking up a mint set of 18" sports including tyres (though 2 were perished) for £420 delivered. Definitely transform the car
In that case it looks like I did extremely well, picking up a set of 18inch sport alloys with good tyres all round and delivery for £115!
Sorry for the bad news but you could get them drilled out & fit wobble bolt to correct the pcd.

Not a problem. I can go down that route which wouldn't be a problem but then again who can be asked? This is what happens when your brother pushes you to get them in a hurry lol.
Where on earth did you get them from ? £115 is dirt cheap lol

eBay ! Someone in Scotland, they took them off because of the bad roads around where they live. They listed them and the auction ended with no bids so I messaged them offering the starting bid which was £80 and they took it ! Obviously didn't know what they're worth.

I was thinking about using a machining company as the overall cost won't be high as the amount I paid for them was pretty cheap.

Just an update on my 18" Sport Alloys.
After buying from Italy and waiting an age for them.... Only 3 have arrived!
Obviously the buyer says he sent 4 and doesn't understand how one has got lost as he sent 2 boxes with 2 alloys in each.
What I received was 1 box with 2 wheels and a smaller box with just 1 :/
And Parcelforce are basically saying, you signed for the Parcels so as far as we are concerned you received what you should have.
I signed for the 2 expecting a 3rd to appear. Just assumed he must of sent them as a 2 box and a 1 and a 1 box.
Nightmare!!! Don't know what to do now

Speak to the seller in itally and got a photocopy of his parcell force reciept saying how many parcells they checked in, then compare it to yours saying you signed for 3 boxes.. if he posted 4 you have only signed for 3 so take it to parcelforce.. if they only posted 3 take it to the suplier

Sorry mate, I think you read it wrong or it was just my s#*t explanation lol
but he said he sent 2 large parcels with 2 wheel in each parcel.
What I actually received and sign for is 1 large parcel and 1 small parcel which only contained 1 wheel.
At the time I did not know that I was supposed to be receiving 2 large parcels. Had I know that I would not have signed for the small one.
It is a good idea for me to ask for a photocopy of his receipt. Maybe that will give me a clue as to what happened.

Yeah his receipt should say parcel size on there check if they match or if they are different.. then speak to the suplier... and it doesnt matter what you signed for.. he could have sent 10 parcels if you only sign for 1 parcelforce cant writeoff the other 9 saying oh well you signed for it

The way Parcelforce see it, is that I was supposed to receive 2 parcels, and I received 2 parcels, so thats their job done. If the parcels did not contain what they were supposed to contain then it ain't their problem.
You are right, I do need to find out what the weight/dimensions of the parcels were when he dispatched them. I can tell who is in the wrong then.

Did you buy them from ebay? If the seller doesn't want to know then contact ebay. They will put things right for you.
