get cheap alloys that nobody like as steels tend to go for more imo

think joeseth17's got some vw g60's forsale

otherwise try finding a 4 stud astra g in a scrappy or someone breaking for spares as some of them have 15 steels

think some scenic's had 16" 4 stud but you'd need spigots i think

Why do people bother with 'winter wheels'

Complete waste of time imo. Just clean ur alloys 2 or 3 times a week! Job done.

More likely to slide into a kerb in the snow/ice, so sometimes easier to put on shite wheels.
