Currently have a set of 16" and 14" alloys but I dont really want to use 'em for track use so was thinking of getting some steelies

Where can I get cheap ones (2nd hand is fine)?
How much to pay?

And as the track will be fun rather than serious racing I will be needing some rubber so it is wise to get some super cheap, super budget I can just trash or is this too dodgy and I would be better with good budgets (like Falken)?

And finally size - I was thinking of 15" as peeps say this is best for E30s

Like I said, I 'ain't no track hero, just want bit of a laugh that is not going to break the bank.

Cheers folks :D

OK.. sorry to hijak your thread but it's relavent.

What steelies to use if you need 16's for brakes and have 5 stud e30 M3 running gear?

I ask cos I'm broke and suddenly I need bigger brakes (see other posts :twisted: )
