lunalupi Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I'm feeling fed up with having steel wheels, and thought I could be cheeky and fit some SEAT standard alloy wheels to my car, as seen on some models (possibly including my own at some point in its life as its a stella version, so is supposed to have extra kit style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> ).The question is, how much would I be looking to pay to get hold of some in decent condition? Also any problems I could have fitting them? Complete numpty when it comes to things like this so all advice apreciated style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I'm not too sure how much to spend on them, but the Mk2 Arosa 16v wheels, or the Lupo 16v/GTI wheels could look great on your car!Standard VAG wheels are best methinks style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 i dont know how much it would cost for some second hand wheels me dear , but i do know that Seat are wanting £105 a wheel ( with dunlop tyre fitted and balance ) which in my opinion is a total rip off ! hope that helps style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Dont let the dealer prices put yu off Lunalupi!!!2nd hand prices are a LOT less than that.Maybe a set of decent wheels for anywhere between £150-£250, dependent on condition & tyre status.

zippy Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 If thats including the tyre, then it isnt that bad to be honest for a dealer item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted June 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Yeah, I am wanting the 15" ones. Reckon I'll go up to 16s eventually once I have the cash for aftermarket ones style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damo Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 pity you want 15" alloys. i could have done you a good deal on my 14" alloys. you could just replace the vw badge with another of your choice. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Tread on all tyres are very deep and the alloys are in very good condition.if you change your mind, let me know and we can sort something out. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGTI Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 (edited) the mk2 arosa 16v wheels are a nice set of 15inch 5-spokes...... border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />the dealership will charge u the earth for them though....failing that some lupo GTI wheels could look nice....there was a set on here for sale (i think £220 ono) and just needed a refurb.
