SSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO anyways, they are genuine -
17" X 7.5" ET 45 - not fantastic specs but they aren't terrible either.
Me and a friend drove down in his Mini Cooper S - the most economical car in our combined fleet! LOL
We drove to Wales without knowing the guys address, we had his post code but no address.
I messaged him multiple times asking for the full address with no answer, we arrived in Wales still without the address.
We waited in a nearby Wetherspoons for a while but then we decided to do some detective work so we looked at his pictures on the ebay auction and used those to find his garden gate and then his house! haha
We knocked and got no answer so we waited and a car pulled up behind us, a man and a woman got out and I said:
"Hi Paul? I’m David I bought the wheels on ebay? I’m here to collect them?"
His response was:
"Oh **** aye that’s today isn’t it? Sorry mate I’ve just been let out of the police station for fighting on the drink like"
Needless to say I paid for the wheels and left Wales as soon as we could!

They were originally all shadow chrome centres with polished lips but the chrome and gone to **** and the seller has sanded one wheel back to bare metal so they are going to need a total refurb.
I’m going to split them and see how I get on over the winter
Can anyone say fully polished SSR for summer and powdered BBS for winter

LOL you were lucky to catch him then! cant wait to see them cleaned up.

to be honest i would of had it the other way as 9" wide bbs will be more than uselss in winter.

Same here, 17" is a much easier size to find winter tyres for too. Or are the BBS 17" too?
