Where to buy Alloys?

BoozyBabe

Suggestions welcome.

I'm looking to buy alloys for my car.

Location:- not much further south than Dublin, not much further west than the midlands, as far north as you like.

Looking for somewhere that has a good selection to chose from & doesn't charge outrageous prices.

Where'd you buy? what'd you think of the garage, etc?

Kimbot

Go to Car-Fit in Clondalkin, he is beside the IBIS hotel, good prices and Brian (the owner) is bang on!!

BoozyBabe

Do they have a website where I could see their selection of alloys?
Do they have a good selection?

Route66 in Ballymount ind est, kinda opposite smirfit there on the main stretch. Great selection. I just picked up a set of 18's for my celica the other day!

BoozyBabe

Ok, Route 66 don't stock the make I want.

Car-Fit do, hope to have them in next Tue / Wed, reasonalby priced, so fingers crossed I get them.

(I'm a fussy little hard to please madam, I've seen one set I like & those are the ones I want, & they're not being made anymore so V hard to get!!!)

Thanks for your help.

Got a pic of what you want? have you tried http://www.daltontyres.ie/

BoozyBabe

Yea, tried Dalton.

Here's what I want.

I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I just want something nice, but not "wud you look at those..." type alloys, plus the car's not exactly sporty, so I think they'll look well.

Anyone know if these guys or anyone else here sell the McGard or McGard Ultra alloy locks??????

That Celica looks good....

nice curves on them, If it turns out that you can't get them you could get something very similar in most outles.

Nice car for a woman.

I only seem to see women driving them for some reason. The older version, only men drove them, but the new version is very femine.

Thanks all,

yip, looked at Rochfordtyres. Didn't see the ones I wanted.
The have the wheels listed on autoalloys, but when I phoned them a few days ago they said they didn't stock Toora's.

I don't like a V low profile tyre so I was gonna go 16" max on the alloy, but car-fit will only have them in a 15", so if they do get them in next week (like they say they would) I'll have a look at them & see if they look stupidly small.

Oh, I'm putting them on a Toyota Corolla (new model)

thanks for all your suggestions

Try performancealloys.com select from ireland at the top. They have loads on there and ship free to ireland. Thinking of getting a set off there they do tires and everything too

That celica looks very Knight Rider ish.

Yea,
I had tried PerformanceAlloys. They do have them, but are charging me rough;y €400 more than car-Fit for the same thing, so I DON'T think so.

Thanks for the suggestion

I wouldn't have thought that now, I don't see many women in them! An MX-5 is a chicks car now!
