Did Anyone On Here Buy These Wheels?

I was watching some 2013 focus ST wheels on ebay and they went for an absolute steal. Any focus owner on here buy them?

I nearly put a bid in for £500 but chickened out at the last minute as I can't justify it when I have immaculate ZS alloys.

I expect the seller is feeling robbed at the moment.

    Oh yeah, nice set indeed. You probably would of had to of bided much higher to win as probably someone who didn't have any decent wheels would be going for them.

    Yeah I was expecting them to go for at least 600 they were at 420 1 minute before the auction ended which is why I contemplated a bid. I think it was my Mrs reminding me I would need to work overtime to pay for them that stopped me :lol:

    I won a set in black for £280 but when they turned up they weren't the facelift wheels and had spray paint all over the tyres and clearly were not the same as the ones in the pics and got my monies back through ebay.

    I would deffo agree with you there, I have always been wary of buying 2nd hand alloys after I bought a set 7 years ago off a side on another forum and found one was buckled. As you say there are also hidden imperfections/damage that can't be seen or hidden. Maybe that subliminally stopped me from bidding.
