gaz the geezer 0 Posted May 15, 2006 soooo anyhow's, what you waiting for to drop on your doorstep? a grant from the lottery commision would be nice, i applied for a `keep my rado going` grant but i`m still waiting 8) you shouldnt have too much trouble getting wheels, just got to be in the right place at the right time fella Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted May 15, 2006 £500 should buy you something really nice if you're looking at mint condition but used wheels/tyres. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted May 16, 2006 £500 should be plenty mate. At least you've got an open mind, i've managed to narrow myself down to one particular set of wheels that seem to be the only ones of that type in the world... (Yes NickVR6, I am talking about the Speedlines) :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woody 0 Posted May 16, 2006 there are always bargins about, just got to keep looking, I managed to a electric 911 seats for £65 the other week. Mind you the bloke set the auction up wrong with a finish time of 6am instead of 6pm. But fair play he did not try to wriggle at all. Keep looking :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gradeAfailure 0 Posted May 19, 2006 not really the biggest fan of either - tbh, fat 5-spokes look best, but then that's what everyone's got! so tough to be individual but still find something to suit... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
