after some 15" lasers (i think, the xsi ones anyway) as i fancy something a bit different to clones
preferably with tyres but seeing as its only 150 for those toyo ones off ebay thats not essential
can collect within 40 miles of barnsley south yorkshire, condition preferably not badly corroded but dont need to be perfect as i hope to refinish themself as a way of learning
payday is on 27th so wouldnt be able to buy until then but just seeing whos got some
cheers

just so you know Lasers are quite a bit heavier than cyclones . .

By a noticeable amount whilst driving? I don't track the car etc but I did wonder why few people seem to have them

Feck me 10kg is a lot, and I'm just learning the difference between sprung and unsprung weight :p
It's either these or some gti 6 steels, given the weather and realising the weight I'm leaning more that way!

So only 1kg difference. Why does every make such a fuss about lasers being so heavy?

a kg of unsprung weight is a fair amount to be honest
I correct myself.
Cyclone 8kg
Laser 9.3kg
just to note the Xsara VTS 15" alloy is 7kg
