Hi Exonian - TD 1.2s? Sorry, I am no wheel expert. I am looking to get a set of winter wheels and save the standard ED40 wheels through the winter. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Ideally, I want to spend under a grand and they need to be robust (snow chains may be required), look reasonably good - the usual stuff. Cheers!
Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 wheels in 8x18 ET45 would be a good fit.
You can pick them up from Demon Tweeks or other online retailers and they're normally built to order which can be a pain if the lead times are long but at least that way you get to order the correct 57.1mm centre bore rather than having to run spigot rings and specify whether you want the scripting on the rims. You can also order them direct from Team Dynamics.
There's a set of BBS SR's in the for sale section with winter rubber already fitted.
Cossieian was selling a complete set of nearly new ones in
8x19 with Michelin tyres (Pilot Sport not winter tyres) for £1200 which is a good price.
