I was looking for a set of wheels so I could take the 20" Range Stormers off for winter.
Just got a full set of 17" alloys with nearly brand new (done 20 miles) 235 x 70 x 17 Continentals on off Ebay for the unbelievable price of £195!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were from a LR dealer, who expected much more for them, but nobody bid.
Must say I AM WELL CHUFFEDWish I had a D3, but at least I now have a Landie - YIPEE

Congratulations
You didn't happen to have the auction finish during the rugby or F1 did you? eBay would have been quiet then!06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

I had a similar result earlier in July - from a LR Dealer - however I believe your good fortune is as a result of a customer upgrading the wheels when ordering a new car! I was informed by 'a dealer' that they keep them for a 'period of time' in case the customer requests them! if not requested then they get fleabayed!
I was considering bidding on the 17"s but as I already have 5 brand new 18"s plus my existing brand new spare I didn't need them.
Good work fella - I was also very pleased with my good fortune. Some say the glass is half full. Others that it is half empty. I say 'Are you drinking that?"
