    What about:

    Megastar

    Zeta

    Pro race 2

    BK993

    Fuel 3

    RS5

    Dare V2

    All of these have tyres included in the price, but ought to be around £500 without.

    £355 is bloody cheap for 18's. Do Rochford do 0% credit?

    decissions.. desicions.. desishuns !

    saw an advert in the scumchester yellow pages.. " 1,000's of alloys in stock" So I trots along to find a comercial tyre fitters ? oops ?
    Still, I went into reception to find a HUGE display of 5 ... yes five alloy wheels !! [ trades descriptions act anyone ? ]
    undettered, I spent all of 30 secs browsing the 'pile' to find......................... ONE.. 18" 114.3 PDC ET35 MATRIX SHADOW ALLOY !! the same as on my car !! [ now discontinued ] [ the wheel that is, not the car.]

    "we paid £120 for them [?? them ? ] but you can have it for £80." "£60 for cash ? I asked ? " deal done.

    Next stop was a wheel refurbishers in Stockport. [ I do sometimes work you know !! ] For them to do 3 wheels, inc powder coating would be £45 ea + Gordons beer tokens, & £20 for the new wheel.. just so they all match. silver or black, yet to decide.

    So....... thats approx £250 ish for one new wheel & 3 repaired, or £355 for a brand new set inc nuts etc ?? wot do I doody do ??

    I'd get the new set, not too sure on repaired wheels, and only saving £100.

    Those Matrix wheels you've got look the 'kin business - I'd keep 'em.

    If you have any confidence in the Matrix Shadows, then go for that route. I think they look good too. (Especially in black!) If you are in doubt, or want more bling, then spend the extra £100.

    The choice, my grey haired old friend, is yours!

    After close discussion with our leader, I have decided to buy new ones.

    for the sake of £100 or so, I think it the safer option. the wheels I've ordered are the last pic I posted.




    or are they ?? or are they any of those pictured ??
