time for some alloys

hi guys want to start looking into some nice alloys for my Freelander 2002 , ill need 16inch i think of the top of my head the wheel size is 235/65/r16 , anyway just wanted to know the best place to look? I wouldn't mind painting them in black too if that's pretty simple, if anyone has any ideas on where to get some reasonably cheap let me know , cheers guys

Ebay.... There are always sets on there.. It costs less than you think for carrageway as well.

Bought some Fox r6's from Richmond tyres few years back they were cheap and a good service

eBay yes, but make sure the offset is right. Earlier wheels will not fit the later cars without spacers due to the vented discs.

You are fitting non standard tyres? You will have to make sure the rims are wide enough as the standard ones which are plentiful are only 6" which isn't wide enough for the 235 wide tyres. Watch out for clearance issues as well on the front struts.

Sorry mate its actually 225 i think , yea going to start keeping an eye on ebay, everythings taking alittle longer than planned but getting there

Got mine off eBay

Correct size is 215/65 16 - I've got a set sitting here which I'm thinking about selling now as I changed to 205/80 16 on my 5dr.

Mine are 255/55/18 used to have 225/75/16 kumhos then 235/70/16 BFGs

Thats is WELL COOL!! I can also join that list of folks who have a set of standard 16sin garage which im hanging onto for some reason. I bought a set of 17s with intention of changing back to 16s this summer to run the rest of the life out the tyres.....but didnt cos I like the 17s too much

Chrysler Jeep

JEEP!!!!

Sorry about the image sizing... Tapatalk usually resizs better than that....


But it does make the writing smaller so it is more difficult to read the word jeep!
