... so my recent trip to the 'ring has now got a little more expensive, as BMW confirmed today that my two rear tyres are very close to illegal and need replacing (I also damaged my bumper (on the car park, not even the 'ring itself, how glamourous eh?) which they want £700 to replace, may leave that a while!), and they want £289 per corner for some new Continentals. The only alternative they had to offer was some Michelins which run about £100 more per corner.
Now I've had a look about on **** and there are a few people selling whole sets of slightly-used 19" alloys, complete with tyres, for about £1,200! There's also people selling tyres for about half BMW's price, albeit slightly worn with a tread depth of 6mm as opposed to the 8mm when new. So, I could get tyred-up alloys and sell on the alloys, or save effort and just get tyres, but is there anything to be wary of with buying wheels/tyres in this way, any common pitfalls or anything? I've never really used **** so apart from checking feedback don't know what to look out for.
