Title: I've given in...
Post by: HI2DVY on 05 June 2009, 14:44:16
I've finally succumbed to the pressure from all the comments about only having CDX alloys on my Elite.

Do you really think they will make much difference? Just need to get some rubber on them now and we'll find out.

Anyone got suggestions on tyres for these?

Oh, and anyone want to buy a set of CDX alloys  :y ;D

I assume they're brand new! :o Dare I ask how much you paid!
Elite wheels do look far nicer than CDX wheels.

Got my local Vx dealer to do me a deal at £110 each - it's gonna cost more for the rubber!  :'( :'(

Haven't given it much thought really. Is there a going rate for CDX rims?
