    Hi,

    Thinking of buying some alloys for my 1.1

    I like this look of these 1's: http://www.bsa-wheels.co.uk/product_...cts_id=1000518

    Few questions to ask...:

    1: Are they a decent price?! They are the cheap end of the budget compared to other alloys but i liked them before i saw the price, dont wanna gt ripped off tho.

    2: Are they easy to fit... It says they come ready balanced for my car so should fit easily but I dont wanna make a bodge job of it. (before any1 asks, my saxo wheels have 4 bolts )

    3: IF they arent easy to fit where wud fit them and how much?! I'm in Leicester area. Do kwik-fit fit them or better elsewhere?!

    Thanks in advance

    you have to phone up to see if they have your fitment. i think that you may need 45 profiles on your sax.

    try: www.alloywheels.com as they are pretty cheap and reliable

    to answer your q:
    1-good price but maybe wrong tyres size
    2 - very easy to fit and all wheels should come balanced when new
    3-all you need is a jack, spare wheel and a wheel brace-also you will have to buy propa alloy wheel bolts as you cant use your steel bolts

    There ok alloys, but there are much better ones out there in my opinion. But its not about my opinion... So if you like them then thats all that matters.

    As for fitting them, as said above you need to make sure you have the alloy wheel bolts as standard ones will be to short.

    Im allways changing mine around (to get even tyre wear) and im in Market Harborough - Leics. Im sure if you do decide to buy them and you PM me i could most probably give you a hand one weekend.

    Good advice, not much to add to that as its spot on
