Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral alloys

hopefully in the next month or so I'll have enough cash for some alloys. ive decided to go for 16s with 195/40 rubber and lower the car 40mm all round.
the big question is what wheels do i choose? ive been thinking about either :





TSW reflex

or



TSW Apex

or



TSW Fury.



what do you guys think?

I think you should get either the apex, or multispokes such as



OZ super T GT's, more than likely these'll cost more mate but i reckon they'll be well worth it!

look for rims that you like then see if any lesser known companies make a similar rim, because the lesser known companies will be a fair wack cheaper, i've seen copies of my O.Z Titan rims about a 1-2 hundred cheaper just cos they aint got the "O.Z Racing" logo on it

gettin' me a set of these in a few weeks
what do you lot think?

Whatever you do don't do what i did.

Bought a set of alloys and buckled 2 in a week! Had to fork out for 2 new one's & 3 tyres! Cost nearly as much as what i paid for the 4!!!

Not that i think you will do this!

Anyway just got them all fitted again, i will learn by my mistakes! (maybe LOL)

typical woman driver eh? <img border="0" alt="[joking]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions046.gif" />
i'll try my best not to kerb them. what size wheels are on your saxo?

hey! leave women drivers alone!

should look smart mate, what make of tyre you getting with them? <img border="0" alt="[smokin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions036.gif" />

yeah outa them 3 i reckon u've made the right decision. tsw is my fave make in alloys. a known brand for cheap prices. how much u pay mate?

Yeah! (points to self)


You've got the right ones there mate, imo the fury's don't suit small cars

<img border="0" alt="[laff my ass off]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" /> women drivers always curb there wheels and we know it!

is it just me or do the furys look a little dated? i've seen 15 inch ones before an they looked more like 14's.

my dad knows a fella in liverpool and he told me that if i can get my hands on just the alloys, he could get me the right tyres at a boss price (fitted and all the rest). the only problem is getting the alloys. theyre almost as expensive as a full package....which makes me think i should just get the whole lot at once (but theyd probably come with crappy tyres).
where did everyone else get there wheels from?
thanks peeps

i went to wheelbase in oldham with Represent(garry with the 306) to get his 17inch wolfrace mantis rims, they were the cheapest price we found and they fitted them for no extra cost, they have a nice little show room full of rims to. they've normally got a 5 or 6 page advert in max power.

Try Northern Wheels by Ellesmere Port.

If ya go with the money, you can usually con him with a good deal lol.

My mate went with £1k and got 2 sets of 17 inch wheels that were retailing at about £650
