    Anyone recommend a place for second-hand alloys? I don't mind if they're a bit scuffed up. I have good quality tyres just put on my my wheels. They look **** though :(

    How much would a scrapyard charge?

    Would I be able to pop 18 inch on (default is 16 inch) ? Obviously that would require new tyres. If I did, would my speedo under read or over read? Would it be by much?

    If you are after buying 16" tyres you do realise that you can't use them with 18" wheels???

    You can fit 18" wheels so long as you adjust the tyre size/profile accordingly. For example if you have 205/55/16 tyres then you could fit 225/40/18 tyres without any issues. You'll also need to ensure the 18" wheels have a similar PCD to your 16" wheels.
