Give PVD a bell. We don't have wheel and tyre package prices on the internet as they fluctuate all the time.

Also when selling wheels it's very important to make sure the correct fitment, tyres, etc. are sold - and you know buying from a Vauxhall specialist you will get the right fitment. I'm pretty sure we can beat other prices you've been quoted too

Like I said above, prices fluctuate. With 18" packages we generally supply branded tyres - £825 certainly won't be.

We're very rarely beaten on price, so give us a try and let us know what price to beat!

remember to try R-TEC , they have some great packages if you phone them.

www.r-tecautodesign.com.

rule of thumb, dont go to halfords and always shop about.
