You're probably looking at around £90-100 per wheel for refurb.

What about the fact that all Aldis look identical? If you can tell the difference between an A7 and a 5 door A5 then you're a better man than I am!
Sorry to upset the nice Aldi drivers out there but the majority are driven by tossers up your arse all the time and remember, nobody will ever again let you out of a side street. And also reckon with Aldi salesmen who are so far up their own arse they're coming out the other end!
30k for me is an R or a fast BMW all day long.

sounds like sour grapes for people that maybe slightly more affluent- hence why they can pay shed loads for its cars.  theres always people richer than others.  I'm sure the old folk in their fiat panda's look down their noses at us GTi owners...."ooo them boy racers sooooo rude, in them days during the war........"

   em..............no different with most brands: called brand identity.  but you're right as they trying to milk every niche of motor from left to right but I've already had the audi tt mark 2 '06 and at the time it was fun.  when you're older one needs more space.  TBH the GTi gets too much chavs staring at me.( i sound like a tosser lol but that is true and they mainly drive scubbies) 
I like BMWs but 4wd is a must these days with the constant snow.   in january my golf couldn't move more than 5 metres from the house before it got stuck.  would love a used m5 but they're 44 grand at lowest.

£100 per alloy seems steep when you could buy a good set of alloys with tyres for £500 these days.

If it's any use to you. I've bought, 1 month ago an unmarked 5dr 09 37k red, 18" monzas, loads of other bits from a non franchised dealer in the north east for £13700. You'll be doing well to get anywhere near a 'proper' £13k trade in, like someone else said to get near that the money is coming off the new car.

Give rimtec a ring you might be surprised at the cost a few hundred pounds to get a better trade in has got to be worth it
