Cinq Sporting wheels on a Sei?

Does anyone have pictures?

My cinq died (flooded) but the wheels were freshly refurbed with decent tyres (Bridgestone Potenzas up front and conti sports on the rear). The wheels on the sei abarth I now have are in need of a re furb and they have poor tyres on (P6000's).

I'm not sure the cinq wheels will suit but wondered if anyone had pics to make my mind up

Re: Cinq Sporting wheels on a Sei?

I think they'll be OK. I just tend to fit stuff and get used to it!

I'm guessing it's a SPI Sei, so has the stock gearbox rather than the Abarth one..........

You maybe right, if I were to get new tyres for the abarths what would you reccomend Fingers?

It is the SPI and as far as I'm aware the box is standard, it just has the abarth styling goodies.

It'll be the 185/50/14 tyres as they're 5.5J alloys. 195s are a tad wide for 5.5J alloys.

Yep. If they are 14". Lots of people like the Conti Sports (and I think the Rainsports may have recieved a price hike, so........)

As it;s an SPI it won't have the lower final drive Abarth box to go with the 14" wheels (which could be interesting with 13" ones!).

Of course, you could avoid all the styling issues just by bunging both sets at a tyre fitter and asking him/her to swap them over.

Cinq sporting wheels with the decent tyres are 13's though!

If the sei wheels were the same size I'd swap the tyres but they're not

I'm just sticking the cinq wheels on for now.
