buying wheels
ok, i MIGHT have to change up to 18" wheels on my scooby due to brake kit.
have coilovers, so ride on road is hard lol.
whats best profile tyres to get, a) to not make ride too much worse, and b) give a bit of give when hitting small bumps/potholes so wheels arent fdckd in 6 months.
also like to spend my money on scoobynet traders - whos got what on offer?
think i want these.
but in white
any comments, opinions, feel free
thanks

How about these Jef, they are 18x8.5 5X100
I am selling these for only £500, they cost me £850
You could get these powder coated white.

yeah can see white being a **** to keep clean, lol
may change my mind, wheels above nice too in white, but i still like the milleniums at top, but in white - and abe a touch easier to keep clean.
no traders on here stock what im after?

They have a few light kerbing, due to the fact that they should have 235/40/18. And that little rubber stops kerbing the alloys.
They are cheap tyres with good tread left.
