I've had a set from Compomotive, not identical offsets but no fitment problems, not too expensive, I'll dig out the invoice if you're interested?

Well thanks.

The Ebay seller only has one front. I was aware of a couple of sets coming up on German Ebay, fetching around €800

For ebay, I had seen this one front only, but where to find the second. And sellers of only one wheel only means one thing : accident, with unknown damage.

800€ was decent if they were fitted with tyres.

As a matter of interest, why would one want to run such small diameter wheels for winter?

Also means cheap and lots of choice. Winter tyres used to be few and far between in big diameter sizes and relatively expensive.

narrow grippy tyres are much better on ice and in snow. (with or without studs)
