Default help needed with a spare set of wheels

hello all, need to ask anyone with a spare set of wheels a favour.

I want to take mine in to be refurbed, but my drive way is to uneven to leave the car on axle stands.

My car will hopefully not be moved so tyre wear is of no great concern.

Not sure when i will need these as will be going to get a price on mine late next week.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Spally

Hi Mr Paul, depends on how long you need them for, not sure if my 17's will fit but you could borrow them and I will put on my old set of 15's as I still got 2pots....but will have to see if my 17's fit as I just drive my car like I stole it dont know about mechanics....lol, let us know.

cant see 17's being a problem as all the car is going to do is sit on the drive, but best to check.

If your passing ABW's house anytime, you can borrow my PFF7's if you need them, they definatley fit over Brembo's and the tyres are legal (just). Just give Darren a call to let him know as I STILL haven't decided what colour I want yet
