Default Wheels

Having never been bothered about getting different wheels for any of my cars the reply from HUK about my corroded ones being replaced made me think....

What kind of wheels could I get for under a grand?

And where the hell would I even start looking - any good websites?

Don't really want to go bigger than 17's

Does it bump insurance up loads?

All help appreciated guys

try elite wheels in rainham, have a good think on what type you want to go for and then hunt the internet for the best prices.

watch the weight and the offsets VERY carefully
Have a look at the main forum section sponsored by Tirerack.
Also have a think about importing a good set from the US it will be cheaper than an average set from the UK

If you want anything decent you'll probably have to buy second hand.

As Steven said budget for tyres too unless you stick with 16's.

I've got some Ford Puma rims I could sell yah if you want?
