    Wheels of misfortune

    Hello,

    Two years ago I made the mistake of purchasing some 18" Wolfrace Street Vemon wheels. They are now shaped like 50 pence coins and I was considering either buying a new set of 17"s or simply reverting back to the standard 16". Unfortunately, I sold my original 16"s so I don't have them to put back on.

    Today I got a puncture in the side wall, so I'll need to get a new tyre for my doomed 18" rims, which I don't want to do as it's a waste of money if I'm moving back to something else.

    Soooo.... I was wondering if anyone in the Warrington/Manchester/Merseyside area had some old 16" rims knocking about which they might want to sell me or let me borrow to tide me over until I have sorted myself out?

    Thanks in advance!
