Anyone got a rough idea what I could get for my existing 16 inch BBS alloys - completely unmarked, no curbing? (Inc ZZ3 Avons I would guess 50% shot).

Thinking of some Mille Miglia F20's - 17 inch alloys. Any comments on this wheel? Know of something nicer? Know anywhere to get them at the keenest price?

There are so many out there it's hard to decide on a design and also know exactly what it may look like when fitted ....... may look fantastic on one car and yet crap on another.

Have a look here (http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/WheelSearch.jsp?&autoMake=Mitsubishi&autoModel=Galant+GTZ&autoYear=2000&autoModClar=).

They don't have the F20 as fitting the G, but they have similar wheels, such as the moda R3.

I have similar TSW's on my car at only 16", but they look a lot bigger, and I approve of the style!

Good choice Richard - I am very pleased with my Mille Miglia 17" 'Actions' ;) and have had lots of positive comments.

Mille Miglia seem to be a good compromise between price and quality :-b

I shopped around on the net and thro' magazines and got the best price (incl. Falken tyres, locking nuts and fitting) from a local stockist - Castle Wheels in Bournemouth. Try the Mille Miglia site where you can see the wheels on various cars and they list national dealers -

TRY HERE (http://www.millemiglia.co.uk)

Above deal cost me £800 total :-b

Hope this helps as buying alloys is mind blowing with such a hooge choice :rolleyes5

Yea! I already have that problem and I had considered that factor but it's my taste in the style unfortunately.

I use a local 'Albanian' hand car wash which I tend to visit twice a week to have them sprayed with diluted acid and then pressure washed. They know me well now and charge £2.00 to do the wheels only .... which aint bad. (I have my own pressure washer but I'm a lazy git.) :sad3:

an i had just got the idea about changing my alloy's out of my head!......"i should'nt have looked" :sad3:
i like this style, kinda classic-old school but with a modern style?
(maybe not these exact one's..but similar?)
