New Wheels Wanted...

MR_Punk · 28 Jul 2008 at 22:06

Well I've had a good look around my tyres which have been bothering me for a while now. I've come to the conclusion all 4 tyres need changing and to be fair the trims are in a terrible state from the previous owner. Its a 1.2 Corsa (53 plate for those wanting to know which shape the Corsa is) by the way.

So instead of spending my money on 4 new tyres and lids to go on them I thought about spending a bit more and getting some alloys for it. Now I don't have a huge budget and just wondered if you guys could offer some guidence?

16" SRi Alloys (OEM).

How much we talking?

Anywhere between £300-£400 for a set.

Plenty of OEM aloys on ebay, looking at 150-250 with tyres.

OEM alloys will look tidy. Nobody else will even notice you changed anything but you'll know and you'll be pleased with it.

Aftermarket will make it look chav.

And 9 times out of 10, peoples first set of aftermarket alloys are from Motorworld or halfords on "offer" with a crap design and huge tyres.

OEM, the 5 star ones look nice on the astra c.

Infact buy mine
