Guys, thinking about buying a set of 16" wheels for my 850R so that I can put some winter tyres on. Will 16" wheels fit on directly? And how much should I be looking to pay for a set of 4 wheels. Not fussed about tyres as they have 205/55/16's on eBay for approx 25 quid each. Thanks

You will either be looking at Perfos or Metis wheels to fit over 302s. Anything under £100 for a set on ebay seems to be decent.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair

Make sure they have enough tread depth. Winter tyres are binned in Europe once they hit 3 to 4mm.
