    Where's the best and cheapest place near Dundee to get alloys fixed?

    Am looking at going from silver to white on S spokes. Haven't got a set yet though.

    also has anyone used compatible alloys like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/17-BMW-Mini-GP...3A1|240%3A1318

    Never used anywhere like that before.. but seriously, I'd have doubts about someone selling wheels who can't even describe them properly
    Maybe that's just me..

    I think I've missed something. I'm clueless when it comes to the spec of these type of things.

    Yeah agree with Burple. Those are S spokes not GP wheels. I doubt if they are even genuine. I think they will be copies. £600 seems an awful lot of money even if they are new

    Ah, I saw the GP part and knew that was wrong. I thought Burple was maybe talking about the spec etc... GP's are the 4 spoke black and silver things aren't they?

    As for £600, I thought that was a good price for new compatible ones as BMW are charging in excess of £1000 minus tyres on their site!!! I'll just need to keep an eye out for anyone selling them.
