Default Wheels - What do you think?
Due to an un-intended problem I am now having a look for some other wheels fo the summer.

I am looking at two options.

Option 1.

Get some second hand and get them re-furbed? This will mean a possible re-furb and new tyres. Seen some nice ones though. One set will need a re-furb and tyres. The others just tyres. See below.

Option 2.

Go for broke and get new ones with tyres?

Re-furb (no chrome thank you!) and tyres.

Option 3, sell me the BBS alloys and put the money towards a new set of wheels and tyres.

But will give incorrect speedo readings and it's outside the best setting for rolling circumference for 17" alloys.
