Ive just bought a set of speedline alessio 2 alloys 2nd hand for 150 quid.
Its a complete set of 4, but one has a dent in it from where he hit a curb, and then wrote off his nova in the aftermath.
Is that a good deal? They are ET49, 6.5x16" for my carzone corsa b.
Does anyone know where i can track down a single alloy, ive got a tyre already for it. Thanks.
Also - the wheel has a dent in it, on the edge, but can the wheel still be used? or is it dangerous, its not a massive dent and isnt cracked or anything.
Thanks.

i heard from a mate that wheelbase will sell me a single alloy for a tad under 150 delivered, but is there anywhere else that might have one lying around cheaper?

shouldnt u have found out if u could get a spare one first???
or if u could use em, wheels most likely buckled go to a garage and have em check it out on wheel balance...
i would say £150 toooooo pricy if one wheels fcuked, cus there no use if u cant find one wheel.... which i must say is gonna be HARD to find

well, there are enough sets out there, and wheelbase did say they could do a brand new one for 150 notes, but was just seeing if i could get it cheaper.
These wheels are 800 quid a set new, and only one or two places do them...so 150 quid for 3 with 195/45/16 tyres is good i thought.
