Oh no, bought another set of wheels! - Nickj - 28-05-2016 04:51pm
So, just got a new set of wheels for the missus Evoque, but she hates them! They do look hard! Not what she's after!
http://babyrr.com/forum/Thread-My-new-wheels-10-wide?pid=111465#pid111465
So, after she managed to curb one and blame it on them being wide, I feel I need to save the wheels so have seen another set I like, and might be more wife friendly!
I've always liked the new shape Evoque split offset 5 spoke but never felt they were wide enough. Seen a few pics of a forum members 22s in silver ( Roger, put4par and pj range) that look great, but I hanker after black so when I saw these I snapped them up.

These are 9.5" wide, offset less aggressive so she shouldn't curb them, and still an oem style, just pumped up a bit!
Bought a new set of pirellis 265/35/22 but they are now out of stock so rather annoyingly have to wait a week to get fitted!

Aftermarket. Dont think they do 22s in this style for an Evoque. Price was not oem either!

Saw these on eBay and would have bought them if I didn't already have 22" Overfinch already. Pirelli tyres to fit are just under £130 each from Camskill.

Checked out camskill. Works out £550 inc delivery and then I'd have to get fitted. Last time on a contactless machine cost me £67 for 4 fitted, so £617.
I've got fully fitted price on a contactless machine for £590 through Asda tyre as get 10% discount. Just frustrating they are now out of stock and can't deliver them till Friday! If it gets delayed again I will buy from camkill.

That's a really good price from Asda. Camskil pricesl are usually really competitive.

Now those I like now if only I could get them delivered to the house when the wife's out she'd never notice they were 22" over the 20" on mine. Sounds like a plan.

Camskill would normally be cheaper. The Asda site is basically the black circle site who are competing anyway, but I can get 10% discount so generally it's hard to beat.

Sound like a plan. If they were the same style she'd never notice, yet you'd get the satisfaction of knowing!
If anyone needs the chaps contact details let me know. The chap I got them off is a forum sponsor on my old m3 forum, and a good guy.

Look forward to see what these look like on!

for any set of smart wheels I would recommend a set of alloy gators. I have a black set on my black wheels and they have saved the wheels from my wife's terrible parking skills countless times. you can't even see them on black rims
