#1: Best place to get Peugeot Alloys Author: Sam19, Location: NottinghamPosted: Wed Nov 16, 2011 5:23 am ---- I currently have 17" alloys on my 206 but want to get some standard peugeot alloys on it as I keep curbing my alloys and wrecking my tyres!!! Where is the best place for me to get standard peugeot alloys?

If you curb pug wheels you could still wreck your tyres.
#4: Re: Best place to get Peugeot Alloys Author: Sam19, Location: NottinghamPosted: Wed Nov 16, 2011 5:36 am ---- lol i havent curbed them recently but just figured that its probably gonna be cheaper getting standard alloys than paying for tyres for my current alloys. I keep having problems with tyres that I put on my front alloys. I don't know whether this is due to the tyres not being sealed correctly to the alloys but my front tyres keep deflating and coming away from the alloys.

I've had these on my Alfa for around 9 of its 12 years and the rims are damn near perfect .. (wish I could say the same for other parts where they are corroding though .. any small damage to the lacquer and once the water and salt gets in, they are done for. Still a refurb should be easier)
2) Have you got the right width tyre? I see so many cars now with wide wheels but the tyres are far too narrow meaning that the rims are projecting outside the side walls. Absolutely no protection to hundreds of £s of alloys ... can't think the handling is that great either

Agreed. Some people do it for looks

Is it gonna be cheaper for me to get standard peugeot alloys than to but new tyres for my alloys? The alloys are terribly curbed admittedly from myself and the previous owner so I dont know whether this is a factor that is affecting the tyres that are currently on it?

If they are get a garage to remove the tyres from the rims, clean the rim edge and put bead sealer around the rim and remount the tyres.
#9: Re: Best place to get Peugeot Alloys Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Wed Nov 16, 2011 8:28 am ---- Two tyre fitters from different companies have both told me Pug wheels are a pain to seal. They clean the rims now with a wire cup brush on a drill and one uses some black gunk to help seal the tyres.
If the rims have taken a major hit, you could have some fine cracks in the rims which is letting air out. Or the tyre wall is damaged.
On cost, it depends how much the tyres cost. Rims are usually around £100 each, but tyres can be more or less depending on make/size/quality. I could get tyres for around £40 each ... I usually spend around £90-100 especially for the 206CC and Alfa as they get "harder use" ..

Try learning to drive correctly first

Not if you drive correctly it doesnt.
I havent yet managed to damage / scrape a wheel in 17+ years of driving.

Ok well the majority. I have not scrapped mine although a tyre machine has taken some paint of the lip
