Little update as I have been gathering parts. Yesterday was my birthday and after a long hunt for some Mondeo alloys, I found a set on eBay for 40quid. Watched them for 3 days and someone outbid me in the last 10 seconds just as I thought I had won them but luckily another set in black came up on Facebook so very happy. Wheels look good, need two new front tires and balancing I think as there is some vibration above 70 that seems to dissipate again around 80 ish. Balancing seems to be the common answer, some have said that the vibration can be caused by buckled alloys? but to me they look okay, regardless I will be changing tires and balancing first thing Tuesday when they open again hopefully that fixes it. Another thing I have done is change the LED's on the speedo blue, pics don't do them any justice but they are really bright! Pics are a bit fuzzy because of poor lighting...

If you go on the photobucket you can see the four alloys. They don't look buckled so just hope balancing sorts it as the car wasn't vibrating with the other alloys on. These have been sat for a while aswell so that may have thrown it, plus they are slightly bald on the inside front tires which can cause vibration??
