I have been told that I need 2 new wheels and 2 tyres, from the ecas site I see that this will cost £200

Is that about what I should expect?

Thanks.

Justin

Justin, I assume you 'need' wheels because the seams have blown out a bit with rust? Any chance you can pm me with sone photos of them? I'm pretty sure I can find you a set of wheels and Tyres in Norfolk for less than £200.

Follow Russ' advice Justin, there's lots of people with lots of ok wheels around. Brand new ones are a luxury (insurance paid for mine or I'd have kept my old ones)

You have pm Justin.

Thanks chaps, I will look at the wheel situation when I get the car back.

i need 4 new wheels !!

bad times! well the rust is in the same place, there not bad at the moment but i dont like the look of it, i know theyll be fine for a bit but also where can i get 4 new wheels cheapish?
thanks

"new" and "cheapish" don't go together

But you could probably find some ok-ish ones second hand. Thing is, if theres' any rust on the seam there's no real point wasting your money.

I've literally just been through this. Went for new ones

i thought there wouldnt be a cheap way anyway worth a try!!

ecas have a set of 4 on for 160 which i thought wasnt that bad really?

That's what I got, but got Roy to do them in white for me, only cost an extra £15 or something.

There's a thread somewhere about rust proofing wheels - I hammerited mine on the inside, doing lots of coats on the seams, and then heated then seems with a hair dryer and poured in waxoyl. You never know - it might prolong them a bit!

a set of 5 on ebay, bit risky though. but you do get some tyres (again risky)
