looking for alloys for around £270 at most, cos well its winter, Im throwing the car round in loads of sh** with building work going on (housing being built near college) and its probably not worth me getting decent ones till sumer, but its also not worth me replacing tyres on sizes I dont plan on keeping or wheels I dont want to keep either lol. Quite a prediciment lol

Keep an eye on ebay, if you could get a nice set with decent tyres for under 300, you could run them for a few months and then get them refurbed for summer?

I think 17" audi RS6 alloys go really well on the Ibiza, but if you haven't lowered it, do that first of the car will look like a 4x4

Spent best part of £500 this month on mods to the car. unless anyone else can find me some better ones for £250

Not my cup or tea mate, but as its been pointed out, its how happy you would be if you got the wheels.

To be honest, i'd just buy some new tyres for your car as it will still be cheaper than buying four new alloys with tyres which you are going to replace in the summer anyway. In the meantime until the time comes, there maybe some new designs floating about and something else might catch your eye.

Its worth holding out for a set of wheels you REALLY want, rather than just trying to get any set to go on your car. You'll be 10 times happier if you can get the style you've always wanted. :D

Good luck anyway...

I have used Rochford Tyres before - they do offer an excellent service.

They do do replicas.

ive seen a setof those wheels on a ibiza and they didnt look too bad but he had them chromed and polished so they were propa shiny and look miles better!

when you say it going to affect your acceleration you cant really say it wiht 17s cos the car aint a fast car anyway is it lol:) and i have 17s on wiht a boot install (which is for sale now if anyone wants an yhting from it!!!!) and it is slow lol but boot install hopefully sum1 will buy and the wheels dont affect me as they grip loads
