These are the rims that I'm hoping to get for my T25:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... TQ:GB:1123
I was just wondering if anyone could confirm that these would fit and what size spacers/adapters would be required?
Any help is welcome, thanks.

maybe not the best option (although they do look nice). You'd need pcd adapters to get them to 5x112. normally they are 20mm thick, the wheels are ET25, so add on the 20mm adapter and you have a ET of 5. Not good. they may well go on, but whether it will drive well or leave you to be able to open the slider?..

Look at Benz wheels, they tend to be easier to fit

Claim your money back through EBay,

It should be covered by distance selling regulations!

Refuse delivery of the tyres and the carrier will return them with no charge to you

You can cancel the order up to 14 days after original purchase and you are entitled to a FULL refund

If they say anything different, stand your ground as they have not fulfilled your original order. Your contract was for a wheel/tyre package, they have failed to deliver on this.

You have all of the rights, not the seller

My wife manages online car parts shops, so she has to keep up with the latest regulations and is constantly having to accept goods back.

blacked out the windows and lobbed on a set granada rims that i got friday, fitted saturday morning.. then test run them to Cannock chase for the night, then to camper jam just up the road .
we have done 250 miles
the ride has completely changed, lost a lot of the boatlike roll and hardly any road noise due to the new set of energysaver mich's (nothanks to tyreleader)
:rollin happy for now hahaha :rollin
