    I am in desparate need of a set for a month or two, anyone willing to loan me out a set for this duration? if so name your monthly rate!

    If anyone's got steelies and are wanting to sell i might buy them if they are cheap enough.

    Thanks :)

    I dont have a set of steelies - but I do have a set of 17" S spokes you can borrow - tyres are legal on them. I am in Kuwait for two weeks - but if you dont get a loan by the time I get back you can get a shot

    Wow that is very nice of you Martin! I would probably prefer to get a set of Steelies, there would be too much pressure driving about with someone else S-Spokes! lol. Are they white and would you consider selling them?

    Cheers Martin :)

    They are silver and I would consider selling them - pretty cheapily. At least two of them need refurbing - so you could get blasted alloys to refurb and paint them white for about 40 quid a wheel.

    I'll have a look at them when I get back and assess what state they are in - havent looked at them for a while - probably be something like 50 quid a wheel + tyre.

    Hello Steve
    I've got four 16" star alloys with runflats on. Tread will be pretty low on them, but you could have them for £80 total.

    You might even recognise the wheels - got them off some dodgy bloke in Aberdeen .

    I've heard about that dodgy bloke like, wouldn't deal with him :I
    £80 is very cheap Alan but i dont have alot to spend on temp wheels. Saying that if i cant find any i may just go for them as they are very cheap indeed! I will let you know, thanks :)
