Where's the cheapest place in the country to buy a set of five 18" boost alloys (without tyres). I've just bought a 90 with a nice set of General Grabbers but they're on white spokes. I'd like to change them.

Yeah you're right, they are just 16's - they looked so big when put up against the original wheels I just assumed they must be on a bigger rim, but it's all in the tyre.

How much do you think the original steel wheels are worth (set of 5) with nearly new Michlins on?

I've been loking at two companies for the alloys - Famous Four and Paddocks - has anyone had any dealings with either?

if theyre decent tyres, then the best thing to do is stick them on ebay. even crappy tyres sometimes go for some nice pocket money.. and for decent tyres people seem to usually pay what theyre worth. couldnt tell you how much, but thats what id suggest
