also rear light all sorted - was the correct bulb just the 'holder' had bent out a wee bit so had to bend it back into place (if that makes sense)

Alloys wouldnt be my choice mate.. if you have £400 to spend on the rims alone, I'd go for maybe a set of 17" LM Reps, or some 2nd hand TT comps or Cupras, and get them refurbed.

[Chris_a_73]

They're okay, but still a bit Halfordsy. http://www.topgear.co.uk/acatalog/Hijoin_H431_carpic.jpg

Plus they supply with 'tyres' with no mention of brand/quality...


I still think the best option is to buy second hand!

Mm - well you can sorta guess what style I want from all the wheels I'm mentioning. & the only problem with that is could possibly be slightly buckled and may need a refurb. Guess the money I would save could cover a refurb?

 

[Chris_a_73]

Just make sure to ask the seller, about the condition first. You can probably get a decent second hand set for £200-250, so any refurbs at about £40/alloy would still be cheaper.

I just think a lot of these aftermarket alloys are blingy, not at all OEM looking. I guess you're looking for a BBS style alloy?

 

[marksy93]

True, yeah I love the satin black BBS CH alloys in 17"

Is the pcd for Ibiza 100?

 

[Chris_a_73]

5x100, yep.

 

[marksy93]

Ok cheers, not sure what black alloys would look like on the bezza....

 

[Chris_a_73]

On your colour, silver would be better tbh.

 

[Blanco92]

Personally Marksy, I'd go for THESE wheels.

Not only do the look excellent, they're also lightweight, so the little 1.2 will be faster with them fitted!

I'd get onto them quickly before they sell; they will at that price. If you do just confirm with the seller they are 17", because 18s would make the Ibiza look like a monster truck

 

[Chris_a_73]

Depends if they come with decent tyres or not...

A set of 4 brand new ones can be bought at £470..

 

[Blanco92]

With tyres?

You'd have thought with those wheels being 1000 miles old, they'd have had new tyres fitted. That's what I'd have done anyway.

 

[marksy93]

Well, good websites for looking at alloys??

Looked @ raceandroad & wheelbasealloys

Still like the vRS alloys

 

[Blanco92]

Don't bother with the link I provided, just seen they've sold, on Briskoda.

 

[Veyron]

RS4's will look rather sexy with the platinum grey i think!

 

[marksy93]

would love RS4's - they were my 1st choice

 

[marksy93]

found some rs4 reps, but they have a PCD of 112
