This poll is based on what seems to be the final stage of my hunt for Cinquecento wheels.
Option 1 - Local. There's a set literally just down the road from me for £80. Two wheels have "light kerbing" and the tyres (Pirellis) have "at least 6 months left in them."
Option 2 - Travel. This set is 66 miles away, in Rotherham, however the wheels look to be in better condition, the tyres (budgets though) have more tread on and all four wheels weigh in at £60.
After a good think, Option 2 is what I think would be best but the downright ease of the local set is also appealing. But worth the extra £20 for a possibly poorer quality set of wheels? I have taken into account the extra cost of fuel to travel 130 miles, but in a Panda that's hardly anything, just over a tenner really.
