Best palce to get alloys?

Post by **tilly** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 3:44 pm

Ive been thinking about getting a set of 12x6 starmags and the tires to go with them. Does anyone have any advice about the best place to get them. Second hand would obviously be the best but i wouldn't say they come up second hand

Looking around myself too . I noticed that getting a new set with Yoko A539 tyres/nuts/centres and balanced, from somewhere like Midland mheels in the UK worked out almost as cheap (~450-550 euro-ish incl. postage) as buying a second hand set for >150 euro + Cheap tyres (GT radials 145/70/12) 170 euro or A539's 240 euro-ish + Nuts 15-20 euro + Balancing 20 Euro.........and with new you wont have to worry (hopefully) about peeling laquer or Kerbing.

Just my thoughts on it as I am in the market myself for a set at the minute

My 12 x 4.5's were running 145's? The 12 x 6's that the Mini has now are 165's?

Sorry I misread.....thought it said 12 x 5

Anyway.......still think if you can afford a new set ...thats the way to go. Unless you get a really good second hand set
