Hi All,
Right, am bored of the current look of my car, it's a bit too "generic" so would like to fiddle around a bit.
Trouble is, I set up my own business at the beginning of the year, so don't have a huge budget to play with.
Want to go for something a bit different, and Euro.
Am looking at changing the wheels, but not sure what else.
Opinions and ideas please!
Is also likely to have some vinyl on it at shows this year advertising my business lol - nowt chav though!
Also, how much would my wheels be worth roughly? Mirrors are also off ready to sell. Splitter met an early death on a low kerb 
Remember budget lol.
Thanks

What wheels though?
I was contemplating something like G60 steels for 2 reasons:
A) They're cheap
B) It's different to Ronals etc
When I say on a budget, it'll be basically whatever the wheels get me plus a little bit more lol.

PCD is right, ET is wider, would need spigot rings made to get them to fit, so sort of

Graeme - Have seen both of those sets of wheels on edition 38, trouble is, they're both out of my budget, as I said earlier, budget is basically what the sale of the SRi rims makes!
Plates kind of do say Blow Job is you're a bit dyslexic - It's been said before though lol.
German plates would probably work their way on to the car if I do do anything - at the moment they're bike font.
Banded steelies = MOT failure yes? So would need standard set for once a year? 1st MOT at beginning of June

There not MOT failure if you get them from where Jimmy got his from as you get a certificate saying the welding has been tested and is safe for road use.
