doesn't the CBR6 wheel fit straight on too? same profile / size and everything... should more than double the amount available for you to bid at.

Don't know if this will help but, i always have two windows open, one with the confirm bid button ready to be pressed with an over the top bid already entered.The second window watches the time remaining which i keep refreshing. So you put a bid in for say £500 for the wheel and confirm it 5 seconds before the auction ends giving no one else time to bid. It is a bit risky but has worked for me on many occasions and i hope it gets you your wheel.

Marty, sorry you missed out on that front wheel (I was watching the auction and willing you on as it ended) why don't you purchase Alans wheels and then flog the rear on ebay :!: only an idea mate :wink:

you could always try

http://www.auctionsniper.com

bids on your behalf and you can set the lead time....i set mine to 2 seconds....then it bids my amount 2 seconds before the auction ends..works for me every time! You get 3 free snipes and the rest you pay for but it not much and if you recomend a friend you get 3 free for everyone that joins...

Marty,

Are you still looking for wheels or have you managed to sort some yet? If you still need some drop me a line as my insurers are taking my 'storm back and it seems a shame to let her go with what appears to be good wheels!

Cheers, Bruce.
