That £65 difference covers:
Once you add postage and packaging to your wheels, and factor in the risk, the Lithuanian sale (not quite as dodgy as Ukraine and Romanian sales but not far from)... then it really looks like yours are expensive (relative to age... half the price of new is more realistic) and high-risk (relative to a local shop with them in stock, insured delivery, safe local transaction and much lower risk than Lithuania - which isn't as bad as Ukraine or Romanian, but isn't good either).
I'm finding the unrealistic expectations are irking me, and whilst I won't ban (no cause) I'll happily point out the flaws in your expectations and point buyers to a far better product at a comparable price with zero risk.
The price you're offering your wheels at... isn't realistic.
