Changing from Alloys to normal wheels

    Had a bad blow out on the M50 today. Bloody tyre blew at 80kph. Scary stuff. Thankfully no one was hurt and we just missed the barrier. The car, a peugeot 206 (2000) had alloys which I hated for many reasons.

    Now that I've to get one wheel replaced I want to get them all done.
    Is there much involved? or is it just a standard thing?

    If you can get steel rims the same diameter as your alloy, you'll be able to have the 3 good tyres swapped over from the Alloys.

    If they are OEM wheels and in good condition, it might be worth checking with a Pug dealer if he'll do a swap. If they are knackered or aftermarket, then a scrapyard is probably your best bet for steelies.
