insurers usually charge around £200 extra on your premium for alloys. When youre young theyll rape you for every penny they can.

by the way you should have posted in "Interior, ICE, Security & Insurance"

They charged me an extra £40.

yeh u can get wider steel rims off another renault but problem is u still have to declare it really. if u lower it and alloy it, i would definately declare it!!

 

[nobblebonce]

i got charged £23 for my alloys

Go to tescos website and get a couple of example quotes.

If the cars insured third party it wont put it up at all.

it usually depends who your with some places only charge for performance enhancing mods.

Tescos wont insure mods until you are 25 IIRC.
