Alloys: I wantz em

Done some research and got an idea of what I want & need, but then I find this link here: Alloywheels for my van

seems too good to be true, wheels + tyre + fitting kit in one bundle. Killer question: What have I missed? Theres bound to be something to screw it up for me

rims I like are 5x112, 7x15 ET35

At least 500 quid....not what I would call a deal too good to be true.

Slightly more than that with the correct tyres...205/65/15Cs....plus factor in that you may also need longer rear studs as well.

hmmm more thinking required then ...

Also check that the rims bolt holes are drilled to 14mm as most are 12mm

That doesn't apply to the wheels in the link up there ^^^^....just to some Mercedes alloys.

Longer studs are easy, just need to undo the hubs nuts which can be tight

Never heard changing the rear studs described as being easy.....that rear hub nut can be a right pain in the ar$e for starters and it's not just a case of hammering the rear studs out..

Changing a wheel,a wiper blade,even the rear springs....yes they're easy but not rear studs as to do it correctly a press is required to push the new ones through the hub.

A press - or a vice and a clever head.....

Which are not usually in tandem....
