Where to buy some wheels from NLC

Post by vx220 » Mon Feb 01, 2010 7:17 pm

Am considering a second set of wheels for my BMW 120D and putting snow tyres on (cos its absolutely useless in the snow as it is) so anyone know where I can source some wheels to fit without paying silly money?

Tried Ebay but not alot to suit. Would prefer standard BMW wheels but I suppose anything will do

Cheers
Kevin

Ebay is going to be your best bet IMO....

It might be worth trying a few BMW dealers. I got a spare set of wheels from a BMW garage (at a take away price) - they sometimes get the cars delivered with the wrong wheels or steel rims and have to change them. The rims are used even though it's just delivery and they find it hard to get rid of them. Definately worth trying to get original manufacturer rather or steel wheels for snow tyres. I've had poor experience with replica alloys in rough winter mode.

Tried Overton Dismantlers in Aberdeen? They have stacks of old wheels through the back...
