They'd be poop tyres. Try places like Blackcircles.com to get an idea of tyre prices.

Bob has some tyres that are quite good and were about £70 a piece IIRC.

I wouldn't bother spending too much on tyres in a 1.6.

They're the ones Bob has aren't they?

So go on Rimstyle chose those tyres and for under £550 you have a set of alloys, decent tyres, bolts and a set of locking nuts!

Thats a bloody good price for the 18'' Monza reps. I have bookmarked and shall be getting them when I need new tyres.

Hummmmm nice. Them 18 Monzas are only £295.00 ! Only thing is the are the same as what I have now, just bigger (which tbh makes a massive difference to the presence of the car). That leaves a lot more money in my wallet. . . . I think the black ones look nice, little unsure as the weather or not they will get lost in the black abyss as my car is also black . .  :undecided:

 :grin: those would look nice on black car, im thinking of buying the wheels from that site without tyres, then sourcing some local, or mates rates from a freind of my cousin at formula 1 garage  :smiley: thanks for help... trying to find the sizes of the tyres needed now  :undecided:, and i know its only a 1.6 but the wheels will be good for future, or selling on... thanks
