Like skibuddy I've managed to get my new set of 18's for £1700 inc 2 changeovers.

I agree compared to some of the suggestions it seems expensive however taking everything into account I'm happy .... Personally I would never buy used/part worn tyres from ebay, having been cut out of a turned over car a few years ago which crashed due to a faulty tyre ... Nothing to do with ebay but I never take risks with tyres they are my only lifeline keeping me on the road. I also want to stick with 18's so by the time I spend 800-900 on good tyres plus 500-600+ on used rims plus the cost of change/balance etc there is not a huge difference between doing that and buying the brand new set @1700 with peace of mind that the tyres are safe and the alloys are sound.
