What's your opinion on these alloys?

I am in desperate need of some cheap alloys, these look like a bargain with the tyres as well, let me know what you guys think.

Well it all depends on taste really and what overall look your trying to achieve with your car. They could definatly to with a refurb though, you could probably sort them out for about 20squid on primer and paint etc. But yee they a good price considering you get the tyres aswell.

Is it my dodgy eyes or do the two outer tyres look wider than the centre ones?? :rolleyes:

that what i thought!

imo, the wheels look boring/common and will just start to steer your car down the ch@v route. but yeah they seem honet and cheap. imo, wait a bit, dont let ya desperation for wheel get the better of you...don't 'make do' with wheels ya dont 100% like!

They look a bit cheap n cheerful and the tyres are listed as 195/50/15 rather than the preffered 195/45/15

They are a bit aftermarket for your reppy mate?

Avons are good tyres, but much better off with some cheap RS2k wheels I reckon.

If you are going the aftermarket route, I think spokey wheels like fox 3s and oz supers look niicee :)

Not a fan myself, but you should choose wheels that you like not what ones everyones says you should get.
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.
