   Know what both will be like. Was going to go down the route of buying VTS wheels with the aim to refurb in a dark silver colour.
   
   But I haven't had much luck sourcing any which would be an easy refurb / right price. Came close, but the guy backed out, which meant I let someone else down too
   
   I might have the opportunity to get some MINT 'R wheels with good tyres 5 mm.
   
   Just want peoples opinions... Car is completely standard at the mo as in the pic.
   
   Thanks for the input so far

   This is true... but there are no mint standard (i.e non 'refurbed') ones about.
   And i've checked all the obvious sites like eGay, cumtree and pissonheads etc.
   
   Nothing in the breakers, all kerbed etc.
   
   The 'R wheels are attractive at the mo, £250 posted mint condish, with good tyres etc... theres not much else about

    PM'ed
    
    But still open to any one else who sees this....
    
    
    
    I'm still undecided, but to be fair it's a case of whatever comes up in the best condition...

    I do like aftermarket wheels, and i think pro race 1.2's look awesome. But I want to stick to manufacturer wheels for insurance reasons.
    
    Thanks for the input though

    Some companies wont charge you more if you have a mod which is made by a manufacturer, so doesn't effect the cost

    Please don't pay that for vtr wheels. You will be able to get them much cheaper than that. I paid £65 for mine, v.good condition all with tyres with at least 5mm tread

    Just waiting to see what comes up. Waiting for moxy89 to get back to me....
    
    And got my eye on these mint vtr wheels (they literally are as new). So its open at the mo. No major rush
