Why are you buying from halfords?

take those wheels from halfords, 460 for a wheel + tyre package. or you could get a decent set of second hand wheels from one of the forums for around 200 - 250 (maybe refurbed at that price...) and then say 60 quid a corner for new tyres (try blackcircles.com)

so 200+60+60+60+60=440

keep an eye on edition38.com , the for sale section here etc etc

Sorry, but those wheels are too 'open' for my liking. They'll just show off your tiny brakes and unsightly rear drums.

I know not everyone can afford expensive BBS wheels, but you can do a lot better than Wolfrace. Anyway, I'm sure you'll be seeing plenty of other cars with those wheels on. Have a look around on the internet, I'm sure there will be better wheels and better deals than Halfrauds.

There's lots of much nicer second-hand wheels for sale on other forums.

But it's not my choice. I'm sure wolfrace have a wheel simulator on their site, which you can use.

There's a lovely set of 15x7 Amils with tyres going for £400 on E38, by the way 8)

And some Lupo GTI bathursts for sale on club lupo, with tyres, for £280.

for starters halfords are around 30% more than any other shop about, check the forums and even some of the sale wheels from the larger companies. please dont use halfords.
plus if you saw the way wheels were handled in there you would be shocked :shock:
