I need new tyres all round in about 500 on the front and 1000 max on the rear.

I've found some 13" wheels and alloys (2 months old so basically brand new) for 65 quid, but with petrol to collect will be about £85.

To me this makes sense as each tyre is more than 25 quid each and that's just for one tyre, so that would be over 100 quid for all 4 and I'd still be on steelies. So if I pay 85 I can get basically brand new tyres with unmarked 13" alloys until I can afford Corsa C SRi rims in black and to lower my corsa, makes sense to me but some people from here seem to think not

Any input?

The best thing to do is go to a scrappy and buy some steelies with tyres on for next to nothing, if you are getting alloys theres no point in spending £85
