Alloy wheels...

ajf · 27 Apr 2013 at 23:48

Looking for some new alloys.
Saw these and quite liked them but they seem a bit cheap for 18".
Any thoughts on the make? Are they OK?
Also anyone used this specific retailer?

They do seem awfully cheap, however I've never bought wheels from there before.

wolfrace are a bit of a ***** 'halfords' brand, the sort of thing you'd expect to find on half the corsa's down at maccy d's mayte

You know, I thought I'd saw them down Halfords before, and had similar thoughts.

hmmm.
Not quite the image I want!
They are for a 2.0 Astra SE. I use winter and summer tyres and want a second set of wheels rather than keep having the tyres swapped.
This is the car with the standard wheels.

Why do you need winter tyres for a FWD hatch, in Worcestershire...?

That wasn't my question was it?

What part of Worcestershire are you from?

Just get steelies if you feel the need for winter tyres.
