How do every one, new to the forum..
I am after some advice regarding alloy wheels for my 95 bongo, I have recently bought a set of mazda rx8 wheels, has anyone else fitted these and what tire is best to go for considering I am on a budget. I am aware of load ratings.
Any help would be great cheers matt

You're in the hands of the Gods really Matt.
Quite a few of us on here run these & there seems to be no central cheap source of correctly loaded 18 inch tyres.
The last pair I bought were £108 each, the pair previous were £280 - but that was from Kwickfit, in a hurry on MOT day.
Some get lucky. Waycar8, local to me grabbed some from ebay for something like 50 quid a corner but, to be honest, if you need tyres on a limited budget, these ain't the right wheels for you.
I'll keep an eye on the responses on here with interest though as I now need a pair for the front but am thinking it may well be cheaper to pick up set of second hand 17" wheels with tyres rather than another pair of new boots.
