Used alloy wheels

I'm thinking about buying a set of used alloys for my N15. Any tips?
I want to get 17" wheels but I'm scared about the size of the wheel with the tyre.

Some advice would be nice, thanks.
 
My god they are HIDEOUS. Just buy some GTi wheels nice and cheap. Sik Rimz make you look like a halfords has been bombed and your car has been hit with the shrapnel.
 
get widda ghetto lingo gringo.

sik rimz bby thay sik as fuk

the black ones you posted however look alright. except they are advertised as fitting a "corsa or astra" and look like the tyres were forced on with help from a rasp... (if you dont get that i mean they are kerbed...)

Who you calling gringo? CABRONE!
I think I know what Hope meant by "sik rimz". I like the all-black ones quite a bit, I asked the seller and he says they're four stud - I'll have to check the bore when I get there I suppose. The ad says they're universal. I'm not too fussed if they're kerbed a bit, lol.

a bit???

this guy used the kerbs as tracks instead of a steering wheel!
 
you seem in an awful rush to waste money on crap alloys. why not just wait until a good condition set that you truly like comes up. instead of buying chav ABused crap?

just advice though...
 
It's exciting!? I do actually like the fork style quite a bit. I hate the wheels on my car right now, that's why I wanna change quickish. So you're saying they're crap now?
 
Those black ones look alright too, but if they're kerbed then there's a chance it might not just be cosmetic, the wheels could be buckled or something, which could also be why he's selling them.

Still think you should just get GTi wheels, pretty sure someone (Curtis maybe?) was selling a set of GTi wheels for just £30!
 
I'll check the black ones out tomorrow. I don't know how to surely tell if they're buckled/cracked though.
I'll get GTi wheels if all else fails LOL. I'm on BiG BRASS right now.
 
Yeah, I didn't bother getting those black ones. They were sh@gged, proper. The tyres all needed changing and he had no spigots to fit the wheel properly.
