	Hello, I know it's a long shot, but is there anyone heading southwards from Scotland that would be able to bring a set of wheels with them? 13" x 5.5" alloys - 5 off - with tyres and wheel nuts. The wheels are in Huntly. If you're not heading all the way to London (or indeed Bristol) is there anyone what they could 'rest' with for a while? It's just that 1060 miles is quite a long way to go to get a set of wheels by anyone's standards - even Bruce's - and would cost about £150 in fuel... Probably a very silly idea. But if there is anyone planning such a trip that can help, please do let me know. I'd happily pay for out-of-your-way fuel. James

	If they can make it south as far as either Preston or Scarborough any time soon I'm planing an epic tat-collecting voyage that takes in these locations.. ;D

	I'll have to contact the seller to see whether they'd be happy to take the tyres off, pack and wait for a courier. There are 5 wheels as well... Ryan, the cheapest option is £12+VAT - the prices on the front page are the cheapest possbile for a very small packet.

	Looks like I'll be calling this one off for a while: another set of wheels, which are much closer and which I'd prefer, has turned up. Unfortunately these closer wheels might be 4x100 or they might be 4x4" - and the seller's in the USA on work at present. And the wheels in Scotland are on ebay with less than a week to go. But if the closer wheels are 1.6mm too small, and the wheels in Scotland get re-listed again, it might still be happening. Confused? You will be...
