Default 16 inch alloys or steel wheels wanted V50

Hi all. I need 16 inch alloys or steel wheels for my V50 winter wheels. I don't need anything fancy, basic seven spokes or even black steel will do. Offers welcome.

You can use Focus wheels too if you go on ebay that should make life a bit easier.

Also some winter tyres come with a steel wheel also which might be an option.

I know. I missed a set of seven spoke alloys for £150 just when I was skint. I looked into focus and mondeo alloys, nine spoke are sweet simple looking but people want stupid money for them. I counted on the forum members as everybody seems to be ditching their 16 so there should be some floating around. I'll go for steel only when I am out of options...

I have a set of 16" steel wheels from last winter that I might want to sell, I got them but then decided to get some 16" alloys instead thinking that i could use the steels for one of our other Volvos, as it turns out though I don't think I'm going to need them...

Hello,

I'm not sure how much you're looking to pay but we have sets of 4 as new wheels and tyres that we're selling at £299 (they've done about 10-15 on new cars before being taken off at factory). This really is a bargain as they come with new Continentals or Michelins on which are worth more than that on their own.

Here is my original post with the details;

Let me know if you need any more info.
