Right then I notice my front tyres are getting a little 'sparse' this morning and with winter on setting quickly and the first MOT due in December/January and I need to get some new treads.
However, I am skint at the moment (well I am not but I am saving for my California spending trip in April!!) so no big new wheel purchasses planned.
But 4 new tyes will set me back almost £300 and I am still stuck with stock wheels and wheel trims - not a good look.
Has anyone got any decent - read good as new! - tyres on a set of wheels that they want to sell?
Alloys (or even another set of steels to be honest) with new or hardly used tyres cheap as possiblke, Oem VW/Audi preferred or others considered.
Cheers,
Neil

Sounds good - I'd prefer alloys so I will see if anything comes up over the next few weeks, if not I'll be in touch.

Ray - thanhks too ££ for what i want (although they are not expensive for what they are) and 18's look crap without it lowered.
Been offered a few sets of steels but they are nto cheap enough to justify just getting 4 new tyres fitted to mine. Would really like some VW OEM 17's i.e daytona's, calders etc....
