Also try Salvo in Ilkeston for alloys...or eBay...in fact, we may even have something kicking around. What sort of thing are you looking for?

cheers

Cheers James. I'd been thinking of a run out to Salvo.

The alloys on Carl's 850 are nice, but I don't really know what else is available. I believe these don't come in mirrored pairs though, so something that looks the same from either side may be good.

I'm in no hurry to change the wheels, won't really bother about it until I have to put new tyres on.

Anything FWD won't fit properly without spacers. I do have a set of spacers, but unless you're desperate, I'd start looking at RWD rims.

cheers
