Winter wheels

[smifffymoto]

I can't be hassled with swapping over tyres when the snow comes so I want another set of wheels for an Impreza STI.I've tried Weller and they can't help and alloys are about £300 a set for the cheapest,Ebay is cheap but the shipping is expensive.Do you know anywhere in France that might be able to help?

I'm in the same boat for Katies X Trail... tried Feu Vert and Nissan and cost €€€€ so when the local dirty back street tyre centre and they've quoted me steel wheels for €58 each.......

It's an arse isn't it.Have you chosen a tyres yet.This will be my first set of winter tyres so I'm flying blind so to speak as to which are good,Nokian WR G2's are top at the moment(only because they are Finnish and know about snow)

On the Landie I've got Cooper Discoverers... I've been given a set of Hancooks for the X Trail so will use those (gift horse and mouth) might not be the best winter tyres but they'll be better than summer ones!

Where abouts are you?
