Im currently in the middle of a road noise nightmare, just found out two of my alloys are buclked, one is bad and the other is absolutly Fudged!  My budget doesnt alow for new wheels, i need 4 new tyres too and the last thing i wanna do is fork out £150 for new tyres if my alloys are no good  :angry:

Anyway check for buckles!?:smiley:

Rmachines I have 4 spare standard Mk3 GTi Alloys with Dunlop tyres decent tread.
 
Bought off ebay because i liked what Bradley did with his wheels and was going to to the same with my spare ones.

Time and money never allowed me to do this so i mite aswell sell them. Drop me a message mate.

Hey, this is my diesel im afraid, bloody 4 stud!!!  I was almost tempted to just wack a gti beam and hubs on the other day to keep it cheep but i ended up in halfords and got tempted by some nice new alloy wheels, they have toyo tyres too so cant be as bad as what i have on it now.
