Default Best place to get a STI wheel from?

Hi All,

i am thinking of doing the wheels up on my 2006 STI.
I carnt afford to take all the wheels off ad have car off the road.
Where is a good place to get one wheel so I can swap it around as I do each wheel etc?

doing them up as in refurbing or colour change? It would probably be cheaper to buy another set in mint condition then sell your set. I sold my original wheels in as new condition for £250.

I should imagine thats 50 quid without a tyre.
Even so, if you look around, you can get these for 100-150 quid a set. I've passed on some at 100 quid before, because they won't fit my car.

You've got to be one of the very few people that actually wants to buy these wheels, as they came standard on STi's and don't fit anything else.

Check the for sale section, you might aswell by a few set, and save some money when you need new tyres next. If you have the space.
