got myself a set of 100+ (aka team dynamics) jet 15" wheels with 2 good almost new tyres and 2 duff ones http://cdn.wheelbasealloys.com/15_Inch_Team_Dynamics_Jet_Silver_Alloy_Wheels__PI_ 552_51_53_403_403_464.jpg
2 are unmarked and 2 have light kurb damage all going to be resprayed black anyway.

bit of a small ad's ball's up was advertised at £35 that seemed too good to be true when i seen them tuned out it was each :eek: after some major haggling got for all £75 in the end
im still not sure if thats good value or not? :confused:

anyone know what nuts i need?

they are £86 each new off rimstock. how do i know? i busted one of mine. not sure if mine are more than a plain silver one as mine are black with a polished lip.

i would say good deal. dont bother with toyo t1r's spend the money you saved on wheels and buy toyo r1r's they easily have double the grip.

funny that i was thinking ash had ones just like thease in black but then i asumed yours where not multi fit?

im not too worried about tyre makes&models at the minute thay are just a cheap option until i get somthing realy light post iva
i do know somewhere i can get yokohama prada's for £40 fitted seems good value but im going to give someone i know in a tyre distubution co. a ring first i do know thay have rally tyres in stock but no idea about other stuff

what tyre size you running ash i have almost new 2 road legal ones that are 195/50r15 cheapys that might go up in smoke if you know what i mean :cool:
