Buying from Midland Wheels

Post by **VWNZ** » 18 Mar 2006, 23:15

Thinking (and those who've seen my postings might realise I take a while) about purchasing new alloys and tyres from Midland Wheels. Anyone else done this? If so do they do the fitting for you, bolts, spacers if needed etc? I suppose I could call them but you guys know best. Read somewhere else that the MW bolts are too long?

May go for 15" Anthracite EMPI 5's. Had photoshop done with alloys and what looks to be more than 60mm lowering?!

If people have good or bad experiences with a company they will often say so, some criticisms are unfounded and may have been able to be sorted if the customer went back to the trader at the time, some criticisms are wellfounded.
People give their opinions, it is up to you to decide what you do.

Personally I don't know the company, but best of luck with your wheel hunt.

we got our BRM's from them, they were fine, after a phone call to discuss they sent me extended nuts for front wheels and bolts for back (rears needed spacers and extended studs )

MWS also do mini wheels and over my many years of mini's I have heard mixed views about quality of the wheels and the service they provide.

I bought a set of 12x6 minilights off them 3 years ago with no hassle. THe wheels still look mint (Although I have sold the car but still see it know and again)

Rough with the smooth with these guys I think.
