Went to my local breakers today and they had 4 x 14"bmw x-spoke alloy wheels, (no centre caps) with my choice of brand name tyres on them for £100, they were in very good condition but is this too much?

if the tyres are good then yeas its a good deal. (you wont get 3 tyres for £100 these days) a set of wheels with worn tyres is probably worth £50

They are worth what you are willing to pay.....

With very good tyres i would strecht to £100.00, but the alloys would need to be nearly A1 with no centre caps.

If you want 14"s then providing the tyres are up to scratch and the wheels themselves dont have any hidden gremlins like flat spots then go for it.
Although you might prefer to hold out and get some 15"s in which case that could be £100 towards a set, add another £100 or so and your there.
