Wheels... do I don't I?
I've been scouting about looking for a set of cheap wheels or tyres (205/50/16) and have come across these:
On one hand, I like them, on the other I don't and the bit in the middle says get em if the tyres are good cos you can always swap em over.
Thoughts anyone?

If they are worth the money in tyres then they're worth trying. Think they could look quite smart on the right car.

they check the level when it's serviced don't they?"

That is much my thoughts, waiting for the seller to come back with some figures on the tread.planetc wrote:If they are worth the money in tyres then they're worth trying. Think they could look quite smart on the right car.

They're having the same effect on me! They're not awful but they're not brilliant either lolEnvoy CDX wrote: On one hand, I like them, on the other I don't

They're okay, but
I much prefer your Vectra-B twin-spokes.
Stick with those and save your pennies

Not my cup of coffee those mate... I'd get some tubby ones if I was to get 5 stud close to standard size or just some CDX ones if it was all about the standard size

Turbo wheels tend to be silly money unfortunatly as that was my original thought.Squig wrote:Not my cup of coffee those mate... I'd get some tubby ones if I was to get 5 stud close to standard size or just some CDX ones if it was all about the standard size

Re: Wheels... do I don't I?
I'm not sure they would look right on a cav tbh and I think turbo wheels while look very very good and are very nice looking wheels they have been done to death! What about 5 stud irmscher soft stars off a vectra b sxi ? They could look smart on a cav I was thinking of a set for mine but I think I'm swaying more towards sticking to 15's eventually when I can afford to I want a set of cesaro's as I'm hoping for an OEM+ look
Just a thought
