You're better off finding a near new set that is complete with tyres, they would be circa £800. Decent tyres are over £400 and a proper refurb is between £250 and £350.

Jal, I think you are absolutely right. PS3s, Eagle F1s or Sessantas would definitely cost atleast £100 a corner. A1 Wheels said they charge £95 per alloy or £85 each if all 4 are done. Thats almost £800 there!
