Where to buy wheels?

Postby ajjmk » Sun Jul 26, 2015 11:44 am

Hi guys,

I'm new to this page so I hope I'm posting this in the right section! :1icon_eek:

I bought a chilli red R50 MINI One a few months ago which I love dearly. It is a completely standard model, and I've been gradually adding small bits and pieces to it to "make it my own". One major change which I'm mad to make is to upgrade the wheels from the original 15" R93 Rockets, to some 16" or 17" wheels. However, I haven't a clue where to look to buy them! I'm a bit wary of Donedeal and the like because I am quite clueless about these things and don't want to end up being "done"..

By budget isn't massive, so I'd be looking for the best-value, best-quality wheels I can get. I have no problem buying good condition second hand wheels either. I'm not hugely fussy as to the type of wheels, so long as they look the part!

I've fallen in love with the Italian R90 replicas, however I am uncertain about their quality, and the ~€600 price tag is at the very upper limit of my price range!

So, to sum up this rambling post, I am just looking for suggestions of where ye would recommend to buy my new wheels from, and maybe if you have any tips on what to steer clear from!

Thanks,

Ali

Thanks GHOST :) everything in classifieds seems to be either sold or from an old ad, but I'll keep an eye on that section of the website to see if anything comes up!
