Rubber ones are best. I wouldn't recommend wodden ones as the tyre roar is shocking.

Falken 452's are pretty good and cheap

What about those metal ones then? You often see them fitted on stolen cars on police camera shows and they have lots of sparks coming off them.

Camskill ordered two as my MOT is due shortly.
CARRIAGE £ 4.98

ORDER TOTAL £ 93.58
Fitting costs me nothing as my cousin runs a garage.

I'll probably order the same then cheers mate. I've been quoted £10 per wheel fitting, balancing and valves. Good or bad?

They are some tricked up wheels, I hear they aren't as good at cornering though
Not quite sure why people only do one or two, surely ride comfort must suffer?
