These are left over from my 2002 P38.

8Jx18

Are these right for a late P38 (with the non ribbed leather seats)?

Only asking as I can't find these on the usual auction sites.

Many thanks

They are Comet wheels (RRC000930MCM), fitted to late model cars so would likely have been the original wheels on a 2002.

There's a full set here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286946954785

Thanks Gilbertd.
I'll try to get about 25% of that price (after fees) as these have paint chips with minor scuffs in places.
Those eBay ones look like a good deal with new tyres.

Oddly the listing doesn't say what type of tyre so I assumed they would be cheap & nasty Chinese ditch finders. However from the photos I can see that they are Avon ZX which are excellent tyres that I have on my P38.

Yeah, didn't say size either so I had to ask.
I found 19" and 17" that looked like this.

Back to old 'bay. I wonder what new ways of shafting the seller have been invented since my last visit? Here's hoping I don't find out

They have introduced a new security measure if you pay for something up front and are going to collect it. You get sent a QR code by email which the seller scans to confirm you are the buyer that has paid for the item and the funds are then released to him. That will stop anyone taking money for something that doesn't exist.

I've had a pin on my collections for a while, feels like years but might be wrong.

Not sure how this protects the seller? Yes - you have the code (pin or 2d barcode) but what stops the buyer claiming they left without the item or (worse) that the item is 'fake'?

One pin collection, the guy wanted the pin upfront so he could leave the item at the back of his farm and not have to meet me (understandable if you've met me). We did sort it out but it was uncomfortable - fortunately, the deal was good

In the last 26 years, I've only lost 5 or 6 times. Probably been 10 times that in bad attempts.

More annoying than anything, especially where I've been really helpful to the buyer.

I'm ready to take the risk this time, just have to promise myself that I won't get upset if things go bad.

Fingers crossed, advert going up tonight.
