If it's my wheels, they are mk1 wheels. They are the ones on the car just now so Jim can give you an honest appraisal of them. There are two very recent Nexens on it and two very good pirellis, I don't know how old they are, but wouldn't think they are that old.

They are in very good nick and S1 wheels with removable centres... Tyres (Pirelli P7) look good too...

How much are they Davie? They might suit the Berlingo and I could try a pair while it's down here..

Trouble is, it'll be bloody hard to get the car back home again without wheels!

That could be interesting. An Activa on Berlingo wheels and a Berlingo on Activa wheels... I'm not at all sure the Activa wheels will look good on a Berlingo personally...

Can anyone photoshop it?

Go over to Jim's and try the two he has off on one side of the berlingo. The tyres as 205/60 if I remember correctly, so they may be too big for it. Considering I would need legal wheels and tyres to drive it home with, or for you to drive it to me, I would be open to offers depending on what gets put on it. Wouldn't bother me if it was scrappy steels with 2mm of tread or if it was the c5 alloys that's on bertie just now.

Ben, more than welcome to visit any time to try out the wheels ;) Just get in touch and make arrangement via the usual channels...

Yes, 205/60 on there at the moment...

Well ... if they're MK1's i could be interested in the wheels only if/when you get the car home. If the tyres are any good you could always move them across to steels, save a bit of dosh.

Let's see if they make the journey back up north first eh.

I won't be splitting the tyres off the wheels. The other 4 wheels I have have poorer tyres on them, if someone just wanted wheels then I would sell them.

The Berlingo is wearing black alloys with matching Yokos all round at the moment. I can't decide whether I like them or not. The calipers and drums are a bit scruffy and let it down a bit now.

Davie, reboot your Tapatalk device. It's doing that trick of posting as 'guest' again... I seem to recall a reboot sorted it last time...
