Hi - I am thinking of using Germany ebay to source alloys and tyres in preparation for next winter.
I know there will be courier costs to pay but the supply in germany is huge and more people use winter tyres too.
For example at the moment there is a buy-it-now of EURO 799 for 17" alloys/rf winter tyres
