Alloy help
Just need a bit of help with picking alloys now I'm finally choosing to buy some. The wheels on my car are currently 13". Can only seem to find 14/15" in my price range. Will it be ok putting them on and would I need thinner tyres or something?

Re: Alloy help
Yes 15s look best and get 185 50 or similer tyres
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Alloy help
Scrap yard would be your best shot you could even get a set with good tyres for cheap

Re: Alloy help
Had a quick look but non local, same on eBay most are local collection and to far for what it's worth. Gonna check a few scrap yards next week and see what's on offer.

Stoke-on-Trent. Also try putting Cheshire and Staffordshire in your gumtree search bar

Re: Alloy help
There's some polished black alloys listed on Gumtree and they're in Lancashire. The seller could be near Manchester so might be worth a try? I'm tempted myself as my Corsa B SXi alloys are scuffed to fook (courtesy of the previous owner ).

These alloys are located in Darwen (not my cup of tea to be honest):

Re: Alloy help
The black vaux alloys would look mint i think, sxi wheels are too small imo should get 15s
