    Anyone got any spare wheels?

    I found a place that refurbs my wheels for £20, but they have to be off the car to do it.

    I need something to roll around on in the meantime, does anyone have a spare set I could borrow?

    £20 !!

    That sounds very cheap. Does that include removing and refitting the tyres too? I paid £138 to have all four done but that did not include removing and refitting the tyres (got a mate to do that for the cost of a couple of beers )

    So your paying someone £20 a wheel to do what you could do in your garage/shedh. Are you bonkers?

    Got a couple of sport alloys if you're interested? (no tyres)

    Got a slight buckle in them, but ok to use.

    Cheers,

    Throbbe - your VR4 will be five stud - Rugby Petes will be four stud.

    Unless you have non-VR4 wheels?

    I should have a spare set of 4 stud wheels & tyres when another set arrives towards the end ot week (hopefully) - might be bit far to travel.

    EDIT:
    Now only have the wheels, as got ATS to dispose of the old tyres.
