Hey guys

Well as a some of you know I'm taking collection of my gtc sri this coming Saturday
And all ready I'm looking at everything I'm looking to change.

The standard wheels I'm not really over the moon about but they will do for now I urgently
Want to change them but just don't know what option to go with originally I said to myself
Just to get some of the sportier gtc wheels I've seen but then couldn't really find a great deal
About then I thought possibly some vxr wheels but kin

Ok so after talking with tucpal who said go for

225/40R18
Or
225/45R18 (better for speedmatch)

Now why is the 225/40R18 so much cheaper then the 45r18

I been on quick fit and i have read great reviews for arrowspeed at £72 each which is 225/40r18.
Yet if i want the 45r18 then im looking at 181 each for michelin :-/

I been using kwik fit for prices as they are mobile too at no extra cost.

Needing advise before i get my new alloys as could be more costly then I thought.


Sent from my iPhon

just found these which i like the look of

[h=1]18" dv1 alloy wheels bp 5 x 105 astra j[/h]

Currently looking to replace two rear tyres

Size currently on car, 235 / 45 / 18 94W Bridgestone RE050A

I am undecided if I want to replace the existing tyres with Bridgestones, mainly down to the eye watering cost

Anyone else tried different sizes on 18"s or anyone have any suggestions for alternative brands in the existing size, as I could be tempted to change all 4 tyres

I drive pretty, hard cornering wise, so would be looking for a grippy tyre, rather than an ECO type tyre

Here is some pics from our latest meet at Galashiels, North East members travelled up to meet some of our Scottish members.
