I assume I can't easily take them off myself

Hi Bit of a stupid question, I have a set of gen 7 standard 16" alloys that had a bit of a bodge refurb done on them the finish was so poor I no longer want to put them on the car and just want rid fast as they are taking up space. I've never scrapped anything and am not even sure what to look for / where to take them. What should I be searching for, scrap yard? How much should I be expecting for them and will they take them with tyres? I'm located in the newcastle area if anyone wants a cheap set of 4

Thanks for all the replies it's really helpful to know how much I should be paying for this I really appreciate the offers to help me do it myself hopefully i'll get to chat to you both at the North East meet

Hartlepool is a lot closer to me than Blackpool I'm in Gateshead If that's a genuine offer I might have to take you up on it, are you coming to the North East meet?

I think Martin might live a little far away i'm in the Newcastle area does anybody know where he is based? Thanks for the replies though might end up waiting for springs if they are going to cost that much

Hi I plan on fitting (having fitted) new disks, pads, hoses, springs and drop links (anything i'm missing there?) on a 140 gen 7 I thought i'd check with my nearest garage for a quote, I will be providing my own parts so this is for fitting only £120 for disks, pads, hoses £180 for springs and drop links £118 for a full alignment Does this seem reasonable, I think it seems a little steep?

When we sort a north east meet you can check them out

Partly the reason I didn't do mine myself.. And my success rate with doing anything car wise so far has been zero! Anyone got a lagoon blue gen 7 with white standards? Not seen any pictures anywhere Think I might need to get it lowered before I get them put on though

I managed to pick up a cheap set of original gen 7 5 spoke alloys from a member on here I intended to get them refurbished in white and was recommended a garage in Birtley, north east The guy has just recently started doing alloys and he's had them for a couple of weeks as I was in no rush They should be ready to pick up tomorrow but he has a few photos on Facebook here https://www.facebook.com/BSpokeWheels The guy seems really canny and they were cheap too at £25 a wheel

Replaced the tyres, gonna run them through the winter Cheers for all the advice and the kind offer GreyRacer

No part worns at the garage I was hoping to use Cheapest they had was £65 fitted but they were new and had to be ordered in Might just have to see if I can get my refurbs hurried along!

I'll probably not even be able to get the center caps off to be honest! Total last straw, but when you wake up the next day knowing you can't drive to work and you look out the window and everything's covered in snow it sends you over the edge! Queue next stupid question Wheels contain the following numbers (apparently) 225/40 r18 88 0222823 0225206 -s t0609 050ayz jhh1008 Guessing the first one is what I need to tell the tyre place
