There a stunning setπŸ˜€
Would I be able to go to that size if my budget could stretch that far?

I’m currently on these wheels.
But as the tyres that came on the car are budget ones, the plan was to invest in some decent non runflats soon.
But as a set of decent tyres is going to be 300-400 I was thinking if I can get a set of nice wheels with decent tyres on, it may be a good plan?

Thanks guys, Jameshan12, lovely wheels, but too much for me, unless I could do some sort of trade on my wheels with someone?
No rush as current road conditions don’t encourage you to put nice new wheels on, unless a good deal comes alongπŸ˜€

So after a lot of trawling through old threads and pictures, I have decided I will keep an eye out for a nice set of 224 m originals with decent summer tyres on.then move my wheels on to recoup some of the cost.
