I recently aquired a 95' Quartz and was pondering getting 15x7 alloys for the Bic™. The problem is I know feck all about cars!! What do I need to do?! How much would it cost for them to be fitted?

oi monkey!! :wink: GrEeTiNgS!!

firstly DONT go for 15x7's go for 15x6.5 MAX!!

the cost of fitting would be just paying for them to replace the originals, which'll be like a tenner!! FREE if u change em urself. but if u wana lower ur car aswell thats a different ballgame. :grin:

i agree get 15/6.5" alot easer. make sure u get 195/45/15 tyres and that the alloys are 35mm offset. Most companiies will inc fitting in the price of u buying the alloys. If u get them second hand then it will cost u about £40 to fit (£10 a side) but sod that just get your jack out and fit them your self :grin:
