The wheels from my 2007 Europa, for sale as I have replaced them with TD1.2. Taken off when the car had covered about 28,000

Very good condition other than one which had been slightly kerbed and a couple of chips on another.

Fronts 17 x 5.5, Rears 17 x 7.5

Tyres are either on or just over the wear markers RE 40s on the front and RE 50s on the rear

£300 + postage at cost or collection from the Winchester / Southampton area

I will also be heading up to the Scottish boarders at the end of the Month, so I can meet anyone on route (via M6)

I know they have the same bolt pattern as the VX, but how does the wheel / tyre dimensions match / differ?

Poo... I am therefore out.

If they provided a better front end width then I would have probably taken them.
