I'm getting a little fed up with my wheels here (Borbet Type A 16") U see I can't find the size tires I want (225 45 16 and 205 50 16) ... So I'm gonna look at selling mine and getting a set of 17" Azev A... so atleast I can get 235 and 215 for the front and rear....

So how much does a set of these cost approx ?

Brand new wheels are about Ԛ£190 each + shipping and taxes.

Second hand sets are in good nick are Ԛ£300-Ԛ£400...if you can find them that is.

I've paid Ԛ£400 and Ԛ£450 for the last two sets I have bought, but they were all 17 x 7.5 not 15's.

HTH,

Mark.

Yeah, our tyre selection is the worst... the only reason I want to get bigger wheels is cause then I don't have to get the wider 16" tyres imported, cause if I import 1 225 16" I could have bought 2 225 40 17 tyres... so yeah, my thinking behind it.
