Think I need new wheels

Post by dawolf »

I've had a slow puncture in one of my tyres for about 3 weeks, got it checked out at a tyre place today and they showed me the cause was a crack on the inside of the alloy wheel, about 4 inches long. They said there's a chance it could be welded but it would only be a temp fix. They recommended I go for some new wheels instead (wouldn't mind changing them anyway). Don't know what I'll get but they quoted me £370 for 17" TSW Apex's and £420 for TSW Pace's, are these good prices just for wheels? Am I doing the right thing getting new wheels rather than repairing these ones? Cheers.

I think I've finally narrowed my choice to Boss XL100's, XL200's or XTS's. Been quoted £380 with fitting. Which do you think would look best on an MR2?
