Sarnie Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 A new set of wheels with tyres for £900 or less will either be poor quality wheels or tyres but probably both........why not save a bit more....YHTM is selling a set of Volks on here for £1250 i think...... Also, your tyres only just passed the MOT seven months and your still driving on them??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Someone on here has just listed the GT4 wheels with tyres for £650 if you want 18s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millzzz Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 just get 19 unless its a garage queen/weekend car It's used most days when I can't be arsed to cycle the 10 miles into work. So . . . .

Ian Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 .................. I'm struggling to see one benefit of 20's........................ You're probably right and in that case , is there any benefit in putting 19s on ? Depends on weight My 19s are lighter than the 18" rays 20s will be heavy as hell. There used to be lots of debate on here in the old days about 18s vs 19s vs 20 & the effect the weights have on the car. Not to mention how poorly some of the cheaper wheels are made, a few of us had had a PWC group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 it looks cool... and the more people go for it the cheaper it'll get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millzzz Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 This is why I'm asking on here. Any muppet can google it, but you only get a fraction of the info you're probably looking for. On this site, there's a diverse amount of knowledge about this stuff, not just "I like them because they're shiny". I still can't decide though. Those 20"s seem a good deal & I do quite like them. I can't figure out if it'd be worth it though . . . . & I understand what you mean about quality Ian lol. I bought some Wolfrace Hustles for my old Calibra. Bloody things were falling apart after 6 months! :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 You must check the offsets on Amy's wheels before you buy though ..... if the offsets aren't right you'll end up spending another £200.00 on spacers to get the right stance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
