   Can't think of anywhere in Chesterfield tbh. The Halfords in Chesterfield has some ok alloys, pro race 1.2's, team dynamics etc. But you might be better buyin some second hand ones from someone on here, ebay etc. I did have some VTS alloys but they are bein collected tomorrow.

   with 2nd hand ones just be careful as you dont want buckled wheels

    probably the same as 15, with possible slightly slower acelleration

    There used to be a very good shop in Hillsborough, on the main road (A61), about quarter of a mile down from the Sheff Weds ground. But i havent been down there for over a year so nt sure if its still there.
    
    Wheelbase is in Oldham, not that far across the Moors!

    i found halfords VERY good for alloys.....
    
    My local one has a huge alloy section with O.Z, Team Dynamics, and a fair few others.
    
    Ranging from cheap 14" aloys all the way up to £4,000 24" chrome's!!
    
    I got my Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's from there for £400 with tyres.....
