artscot79 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 personally i would if you shop around you can get brand new copies for the same money with 4 budget tyres and contys arent saying much in that as good as they are they make budget brands at half the price with a better rating but if you love them mate who cares fitthem and be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpy321 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I think you got them cheap myself. I wouldn't touch copy alloys, god knows where they are made. All that you have to look out for now in buckled alloys. If they're ok, I think you got yourself a bargain. Put some photos up when you git them to the car! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete80 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I would say that was a bargain, I bought a set of zetec S alloys off a member here, after 2 months I had them refurbished and a set of brand new tyres, cost me almost 900 quid in the end all in, but at least its still cheaper than buying from Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulE Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'd be keen to see this. Anyone got links to sites selling copy alloys, or should I eBay? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Dude Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 PaulE I live in the land of 'copies' (even the ladies! LOL!) and would think carefully before considering copy alloys. I see twisted one every day, mate. Good luck Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike77 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 On the other hand, ive had several sets of replica alloys, and never once had a problem with any of them, all good value in my opinion. Just sayin ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulE Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Where would I begin to find a set of 18" White ST alloys then? Copy. I'll have a little look at them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_dom91 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Well this is what the car looked like with the standard alloys And this is with the 18" sport pack ones that i purchased the other day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpy321 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Looking good. How do they feel? No shakes on the steering wheel while on the Motorway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_dom91 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Nope tbh after reading a few comments on people saying they are noisier and all that palarver iv bin on the motorway country roads the lot and there spot on the only thing to do with the steering wheel is that it trys to pull to one side when braking but i think thats just the tracking needs doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
