Time for new wheels...

Well, I'm fighting a losing battle with my wheels.

One of them has a flat spot, which means I'm pumping the tyre up every couple of days. Another has a slow puncture on the tyre so I'm doing the same. And I need a couple of tyres anyway. So I'm looking at spending a couple of hundred quid to get mine sorted with a couple of tyres and a flat spot repair. So why not get some new wheels for the extra cost?? I've seen a couple I could afford as I still have some Christmas money left, have finished paying council tax so will have a spare hundred odd quid on payday, and it's my birthday on Tuesday so anything I get for that I might put towards some too.

So what do you think would suit mine?

Minus the blue stripe...

There are other wheels I prefer, but they're just out of my price range, and I'm still looking. Just these 2 at the mo to choose from. Does anybody think these are a big no no, or would they go well with my car?? Opinions greatly appreciated! :D

Yeah, I'm edging towards those too :D And have a feeling that's what the general concensus on here will be ;)

Both of these sets I should be able to afford shortly, it was some others I fancied which were too expensive. I might have to break out the photoshop and see what they look like as I'm having trouble imagining the first set.

To be honest think that you would like the first ones but you won't be as happy a few months later. What is the difference in price? Tens or hundreds?

The ones I really want are these:

But they're £175 more for the full set with tyres.

The 2 above are just about doable this month. Saying that, if I wait an extra month (4 weeks) I might be able to get these ones... hmmmm....
Over half way there now... well, for these last set I posted. I can nearly afford one of the first 2 sets, but I think I've got my heart set on these Pro Race 3's...

I've just ordered the set I decided on... Will take two weeks though as they have to be drilled and made up to order...
Well they arrived yesterday :huh: I'd be more excited if I knew I weren't selling the car :lol:

Shame I didn't decide to sell up BEFORE I'd ordered them :lol: Nevermind eh, here they are:

£629 mate. Was supposed to be £660 but I got a bit knocked off, free delivery, wheel nuts and locking nuts thrown in for being a cheeky cunt and asking for discount :lol:
