steel to alloy?
#1
We currently have 15" standard steel wheels on our 2008 Berlingo.

I was offered some (Peugeot) 16" alloys yesterday for £140 which looked okay and seemed a bit of a bargain.

The current tyres on the car do need changing before too long - currently Mich Energy Savers = rubbish in winter, and we do get wintry conditions up here in the Dales.

I was thinking of some All-Season tyres (poss Goodyear Vector 4Seasons as they have good reviews) - BUT am now tempted by buying some specific winter tyres for these wheels and also buying those alloys, with a view to having some summer rubber on next year.

Apart from the costs involved - any thoughts? Our mechanic sucked his teeth when I mentioned it yesterday, saying he's doing a lot of repairs to alloys to stop them leaking air and wouldn't recommend anything other than steel wheels.

I know it is just vanity, but ......:whistle:
