Fitted my 15'' tigra alloys today to replace my standard 14'' sports. Bought them off Foz on here, no problems at all - as described etc. So cheers foz.
I'm pretty pleased with the difference, not bad for £130. Cos i needed a new tyre or 2 on my old alloys anyway and the new set have got good tyres on them.
