Got back from holiday on wednesday to find i have a definate slow puncture on my front right. I have the option of covering the standard Sport 3 spokes in decent rubber, or waiting and buying a new set of alloys. What would someone reccomend?? And i would like Toyo Proxes as a first choice of tyre. How much would those tyres cost in a 14" fitment?

Change the wheels Dave, it'll make a big difference to the appearance.

Them 3 spokes do look awful dont they! I will go and have a nose around r-tec later on. Try and get a decent package out of them.

I like the technomagnesio indianappolis wheels. Even nicer if they were in 15" size. PVD only have them in 17's right?

We did have a few sets of Indianapolis in 15" but they are all sold now. As are the 17s.

They were £449 I believe with budget 195/50, so probably £550 or so with 195/45 Toyos.

I know someone who's selling a set of them in 17" with nearly new Avon tyres. They look as new, and she only wants about £500 for them......

Nope, we bought the last of the Vauxhall Tecnomagnesio stock, and it's all sold now.

then get a nice set of 15's for it, then lower it after you've saved the shackles!

corsa's on small fat wheels are far nicer looking IMO
