Thanks guys, but you're both a bit far away. Can anyone recommend any direct bolt-ons she can get from a scrappy?

What you probably ought to look out for is chav mobiles.

The four spoke 17's they tend to fit are mostly dual fitting, usually Ford and 100mm to fit just about everything else.

If you look at some of the wheel and tyre packages, and the prices of individual wheels and tyres and consider they can usually be financed.....

Wear out two of the tyres, or curb one wheel and getting a new set on HP looks attractive, and the old ones aren't worth a lot because it's less money a week to buy new ones.

Possibly ask somewhere that sells the wheel/tyre packages? Some of these guys will just get another set of wheels on finance if they'e curbed one wheel or worn out a couple of the tyres.

Tyre dealer is a good place to ask to. Mine had four Vectra 17s a while back. £80 with good tyres.
