   Hi,
   
   So I was looking round for some new tyres yesterday and thought that I might be better off buying some alloy wheels instead.
   
   Looking round I've seen some I like (Wolfrace 15" katana). Looking to spend around £300. Though when I asked in halfords for more information, the bloke said they wont fit straight onto my car because I need a spacing kit?! (Extra £60?).
   
   Question is do i really need this? what does it do? how easy isit to fit?
   
   Are there any alloys that I can fit straight onto my car without any other modifications needed?
   
   Another other alloys around £300 that people suggest and places to buy them from?!
   
   
   Thanks for your help
