Do they exist! 🤔

I'm eyeing up some nice winter tyres to use in the cold, ice, wet, slushy, conditions that have started to arrive (up North at least). The tread compound on these Potenza Sports can't handle the cold temps and are stiffening up.

I finally settled on the Hankook icept evo 3's - https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Hankook/Winter-i-cept-evo3.htm - and can get them ~£200 a corner in 19" staggered fitment. Come out well for wet and dry performance which, not being an all season is impressive.

I'm struggling to find a set of spare wheels though! And going to Ford Parts they want at least £300 a wheel (upwards depending on the design). Are there are any good replicas that people know about or just aftermarket? I was hoping to get a set for like £500. 😁 Perhaps that is wishful thinking.

Cheers.

Will do! Also frustrating as most online shops, when you enter make an dmodel, list the front as 8.5J and I'm pretty sure it's 9J. 🙄

Over the years there have been some great PP1 wheel deals on here - one guy couldn’t shift his for ages and really had to drop his price :like:

I think I’ve seen a set go through with nokian winter tyres on too … ?

WD :like:

Best bet is ebay. They are around the £800 mark for 4 with tyre in perfect condition.

They are Bullitt wheels and they are looking for £700 for the set based in Essex

Thanks for sharing these gems! Sadly... I know I know, I'm being picky 😁 but I'd like to stay staggered on the rear. But the price is spot on - I'd have those if they were 9.5J rear.
That’s fine, I will keep a eye out in case something comes up 👍

i have a full set of factory multispokes with brand new pilot sport 4s's on them, if anyone is interested in making a sensible offer for them (bearing in mind over a grand worth of tyres)
