Hey, I'm have some winter tyres and now need some cheap alloys or maybe steelies.. not bothered too much about the state of them.

Only need two for now, but maybe a set of 4 alloys depending on price.

I need them to be in 5x100 pcd, so seat leon, audi a3, golf mk4..

It's amazing how no-one seems to have steelies around here, you'd think the scrappies would be full of them.

A lot are snapped up by the "stance" set and people doing the cheap daily hack or tramp look (even though they put nearly more effort in than the guys keeping a nice car) for making banded steel wheels.

I've been looking for 4x100 16" steel wheels for a while to make some banded rims myself for spares for my drift car and winter wheels but only can really find 15s about.


Scrappies have them alright but usually want around 50 quid a wheel because there's tyres on them which are ditch finders anyways but in their view, they have thread left on them but no use to people making banded steels or people wanting winter wheels.

Problem is a lot of people are doing the same for winter so a lot have been snapped up cheap.

4x100 x 16 in steel will be quite rare if you can get them.
I cant think of any that had that size as a std steel wheel.
