   my car is due for an m.o.t. and for the price of 2 new front tyres (that i need) i could get some vtr alloys in black? should i? i currently have 16inch alloys and they rub with a 3 or more people in so maybe vtr alloys would help as there smaller? thanks

   I like them wheels, there nice, but black vtr alloys are also nice. I'd go with the black vt alloys, a much easier solution

   i'd go for the vtr alloys,
   but its difficult to upgrade your brakes because they're only 14" wheels, i'm looking at 15's now cos i can't find the right brake upgrade for my vtr.

   There is a perfectly good reason why vtr alloys are cheap.
   
   I can't believe that you'd sacrifice a good set of wheels for the sake of 3 tyres.
   On second thoughts, wanna swap your for a set of vtr alloys I've got in my garage?

    they only rub because you have 45 profiles not 40s go with the tyres.
