    Is the seller not willing to sent you detailed pictures, i.e front and back of each wheel, close up of damage, tyre tread ect?

    looks like a deal, but 19" snowflakes should be on 235/35/19 afaik and the tyres you have bought on 19" are 225/35 while these will work they will put your speedo 4-5% out

    i could be wrong and if so i will stand duly corrected... but i would always keep the ratio

    Sorry i ment it "shouldn't" be that much difference... they'll be a tiny bit smaller. probably talking MM so it will under read probably not even by 1mph...

    If i remember right its the profile or % overall that messes things up...

    So if they where 30 / 40 you'd be under or over reading a fair bit...
