Styling 18's for the JTD

[Oakley28]

Hey again ..

anyone know where you can get at set of these at a decent price WITH tyres?

Thanks.

that is a very good price without tyres, price up a normal set of O.Z super-T's and you will see how little they actually are

no other place retails them, dont even think theyre made anymore, so either ebay, or second hand. if it was me, i'd buy them and stick a new set of tyres on and get the tyres full use as well as brand new wheels

 

[Oakley28]

been looking at tyres and there about £3-400 a set of 4

 

[j0nny]

sounds about right, though good tyres, you can get cheaper tyres but obviously that reduces grip and lifespan. you can buy tyres off ebay as well
i bought a set of 18's with new 215/40R18 tyres for bout £250 few months ago so it may be worth doing that and stealing the tyres, and resell wheels, money made

When i went in there to get a quote on 17" claws i almost fainted, cant remember the price just remember it was hell of a lot

A guy asked on eBay how much those Schumi alloys would be with tyres and got quoted £900, pretty reasonable if you ask me

If you go into Halfords, a set of OZ GT 18's identical to the Schui ones won't leave you much change from a grand

 

[Dogspods]

There's THESE too, slightly cheaper postage

I knew someone would say that.

It really is a shame people are always so ready to bash dealerships. People just don't realise what they miss out on sometimes.

Not the best photo but the number at the bottom. is £284.35.

Sorry, try THIS

They were for schumi's?

Surely not everywhere would do them at that price?

is there any website to check fiat parts and prices?

Yeah they were for the Ozs with Fiat center caps.

Dealer parts departments don't have a high a mark up as other places. The reason things from a dealer cost more is because they cost more to start with. These guys off ebay selling the OZs are getting them from the same place your local dealer does. So you might be surprised how much this levels the playing field.


I think if some people actually had a bit of a clue about how dealerships work they might be able to appreciated the need for them.

so what would i do, go in and give them the part number and ask what the damage would be sorta thing?
