| Misdescribed wheels (was Ebay fodder) |
|
 Just brousing, and found these. Now I aint critisizing, but confused. ARE they D4 as listed, cos to me they look identical to my HSE alloys.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/19-RANGE-ROVER-DISCO...286.c0.m14
Or are they mis-leading us.

Something is wrong with that listing, the tyres are only 107 rated, and the wheels look like they have been powder-coated aftermarket, that style is also not listed on the LR official D4 site, let alone in anthracite.   I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Utter tosh. Vendor is a muppet. At least Nigerian e-mails are amusing. There's nothing funny here.

I just thought it was the VINO tonight, definately NOT advisable to put on a D3 then , well at least with those tyres.

You can't put them on your D3 anyway.....
.....mainly 'cos you cannot get your current wheels off   I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Not at all Rich, just saw them and smelt a rat, thought it prudent to list before a someone on the forum made a mistake

This morning the seller amended his listing to "These May Not Fit the Freelander"
No mention of the wrong tyres then, or the bidders

Just got this reply:
Hi, thankyou for your concern, here's the part number mate: rrc002900xxx, give a call to any landrover dealer in the entire uk, any you want mate and they will all say to you, these wheels are proper alloys, not spares. They cost 347 each + vat.
Yes they do go on discovery 4's
Also The tyres each cost £245, so i don't think someone would spend that amount to fit on some spare, i would rather sell that tyres seperate.
Thanks again
