    I've checked the for sale section for you, can't find any sorry.

    A bit of a tip on eBay - type in "3stud alloys" rather than "3 stud alloys", so leave no space between 3 and stud. For some reason it refines the search a little better and shows more 3 studs.

    Also check gumtree, you can get some stupidly great deals there and there are quite a few at the moment! Check it out

    As said above eBay is usually your best bet mate. Even if the sellers say 'Collection only' you can arrange a courier to go and collect them, the best courier for alloys is Paisley Freight.
    (Hint: There's some REALLY nice compomotive alloys for sale in white 3 stud on there at the moment, try buy them )

    depends on what rear axle you wanna go for but wouldn't cost more than £100 if you just want drums and then you got a massive choice of alloys

    you need to swap both front struts and the rear beam for a 4 stud conversion. not that much to do

    your best just going for a pair of 3 stud's for now. Maybe in the future change to 4 Stud when you have a bit of time and money on your hands.
