Wayn0r · 21 Jan 2006 at 13:18

my wheels badly need refurbishing, i can get some of the above for a grand including tyres. Reckon they will look good/ok on a black st220 ?

A grand?

Sodding hell, I'm looking to spend about £50/corner on some 13x8s.

anything cheaper doesnt look right + i dont want the risk.

penski · 21 Jan 2006 at 16:25

Risk?

Of what?

Wayn0r · 21 Jan 2006 at 16:31

it looking crap and/or the rims being crap quality

Wayn0r · 21 Jan 2006 at 16:32

also ill probably need 3 new tyres this month, at about £130-£150 each, including getting the rims done. Extra couple hundred quid isnt gonna hurt for 4 new rims and ttyres.

Or just get the old wheels refurbished and learn how to park

mkIII Mundano is 5x108...How about some Ferrari 348, 355 or 512 rims?

Alfa 166 also...

You are buying old undesirable rims....rather different

Small but wide rims are far from undersirable.

Jez · 21 Jan 2006 at 17:59

They obviously are for £50 each

Unless he got a special deal.

As for the original question, superT's look great on ST220's, especially on a black one. I am not sure i could justify £1000, but i guess you could claw some of that back from the sale of the original rims.

Aye, I imagine 18" rims are quite dear. The tyres alone are going to be £100 or so a corner at least...

I'd look into getting your existing wheels refurb'd first.

New, very desirable rims, ahthenkyew.

I have a bargainous deal in the pipeline; they should be nearly £900 for 4 but I have a slight chance of £200-£350 for a set.

Also the possibility of 9x13 rears.

Ooooh, yeah.

Ok you got a bargain deal then, but dont scoff at £1000 a set for alloy wheels. Most half decent sets come in at this sort of price range.

Out of interest why are yours going to be reduced so dramatically?

penski · 21 Jan 2006 at 18:18

I wasn't scoffing at the price...merely at paying that much.

They're stock from a company that went nipples skyward...It's all being sold off and a friend of a friend is managing it...
