Cheap alloys+tyres at Halfords
£199 Tyre: 195 x 50 x 15 PCD: 4x100/4x108 Offset: 38mm
Not for me, but maybe handy for someone. At the most you'll be paying £50 a corner.
If any of you quidco you'll get 4% off that price as well (£48 a corner).

I'd be interested to know what tyres come on these and how much they weigh (wheel plus tyre) each corner (easy checked with weighing scales with
yourself on as well to increase accuracy)

For christs sake don't order them online, they're a bunch of useless halfwits. I tried to place an order last week, got an email a couple
of days later from them asking to email my previous addresses and any other information that might help them determine where I live. If it
wasn't for the fact that it actually had the right order number on it I would have dismissed it as spam as it was that badly written. So, on
phoning them up (from the number on the Halfords website, not the email  ) they confirmed that yes, they did want to know where I used to live as
192.com don't have my details at my current address. Cue me arguing with bloke on the phone about how I have never had to supply this
information for any other transaction I have made, online or not, and that I don't care if he says it's 'for my protection'
I'm not comfortable giving them it. So I cancelled the order.
After a little trawl around the web I couldn't find anywhere that had the same wheels anywhere near as cheap, so I grudgingly went down to my
local store today to order them, hoping they'd make slightly less of a hash of it all. And lo and behold, not only did I manage to get the only
staff member I've ever met there that actually seemed to know what he was doing, when he put in the fitment details it came up with a
'special price' £50 less than the displayed price. So, I've just paid £389 for a set of Pro Race 1.2's, which is nice.
Here's hoping the order goes through smoothly this time....
