Well that was me back on the road for 2 days... 2h ago I had a little incident which resulted in a broken alloy...
I was going no more then 35MPH, just going off the bypass when my car made a 180 degree turnaround on a stain of oil or some other crap. hit the kerb and broke the wheel, not to mention the tyre...
anyway, i have/had a set of these;
and now, when I have a chance, I'm looking to replace them with a set of these;
i understand that the ones i have are size 15" and ones I'm looking for are 16" so it would be great if I could get them with a set of tyres too...
just in case if anyone could tell me how much would a set of decent tyres cost for those 'cosworth' 16" alloys?
Anyway, the point is that if anyone and by anyone I'm probably referring to Highlander  , has a set of those nice wheels preferably with good tyres near Edinburgh, please let me know.
I can't afford to pay much so I would like to avoid a situation where I'd have to buy alloys + new tyres at the same time...
Thanks for your time and attention and hope to hear from you soon.
jeez, my little Scorpio keeps having various adventures and constantly keeps me busy and out of work... and how am I supposed to keep paying for all of this when without a car I'm earning hardly anything... :/
EDIT:
i just read somewhere that those 16" might not fit my car, is that true?!!!!
i honestly don't think that there is any difference and they should fit without a problem but now i'm confused... can somebody tell me what the truth is? cheers...

thanks anyway Stuart. if something comes up please let me know... [ i still have 3 of my old alloys with 3 good tyres + a steel spare with a decent tyre, so u may consider an exchange for your spokes  ]
any idea how much would a set of quite decent tyres cost me for those 12 spokes alloys if I can't get any with tyres?
god I hope someone has a set with tyres that would last for a few months... my finances are getting pretty tight at the moment... :/

I do believe Snoopy has a set of the teardrop alloys he's been trying to sell since Simmo was a lad but dont know about the tyres on them.
If I remember rightly Dave is in Chester? I'm off to Chester on Thursday this week, i could pick them up for you

now you're a really good chap once more I owe you... hope that we can meet sometime in person bbq or something ...
i only need to sort some things out and catch up with my work some of it had to be postponed due to the recent leak i had... and i'm good to go and you can feel invited on the nearest occasion
back to the topic, i'm awaiting confirmation from Mick and if everything goes well i should buy a set of 12 spokes from him on the 6th of May.
Now i only need to get some tyres for them

well i've got a few more days before collecting the wheels from Mick and am looking for tyres.
has anyone used Toyo tyres?
I've been thinking about buying;
Toyo Proxes T1-R 225/50 R16 W
they seem to be reasonably priced for £97.95 all inclusive with fitting, balancing etc. but you never can trust 'customer opinions' given on the website so i'm wondering if anyone can tell me something about those tyres or Toyo tyres in general.
Oh, and Mick, could you please check here: http://www.blackcircles.com/ if they fit tyres somewhere near you? All you got to do is get a quote for any kind of tyres with fitting, then click 'buy' and then you'll be redirected to a website where you give your post code and get a list of garages near you.
I thought I'll order the tyres to a garage near your place to come on the same day and we'll go, fit them on and you'll get one of my old wheels as a spare like we agreed.
