Given these will be on for a few months in the year its important to keep the looks decent so don't be tempted to go for a set of winter wheels that are badly marked unless you are happy enough to live with that.

I'm thinking new, unless I can see the used ones first... slightest blemish would annoy me.

I know what you are saying and my head says "yes I agree", the missus says "no" though

I'm liking the DTMs in Hyper Silver and I'm now convinced its got to be 18s or I'll not be happy. I've asked a wheel specialist for pricing inc tyres, so hopefully comes in at a good price. I've seen the wheels for £350 on Fleabay!
Any pics of yours?
