Jesus only £55 per tyre :) that is a bargain! They are £110-120 each for my car :( that's why I went for the Yoko Prada Spec 2's which were £87 each

They look good dude but you already have a set and the borbets :)
You might as well put that £200 towards getting your RX2's refurbed rather than buying another set.

They are great wheels but from experience they shouldnt be used in the winter because they corrodo far too easily.
£200 could get you a set of G60's or banded steels and keep your borbets nice & fresh for the summer (if we get one)

As above ben^^ I wanna keep some standard for if I ever sold them there more appealing but I also want red centres lol

I do want G60s as winters tho I think they look sweet :-)

And yes I do have borbets which should be done by next weekend :-D so I think I'll stick with the borbets for the mo as I think the bbs are now sold :-(

I'm just a bit weary bout putting the borbets on cos they've had 2 refurbs now n only been on the car for 1 day I just don't wanna use them and get them damaged lol

£220 for the wheels, £250 for first and awful refurb, and £170 for the 2nd refurb and then £220 for tyres which should be here this week lol

I know what you mean about the borbets, it’s always a concern when you put brand new wheels on or freshly refurbished wheels.
There is always that fear that you’re going to kerb them but after a couple of days that goes away, just have to be confident and watch out for potential wheel killers
