I'm looking for some guidance on selecting alloys for my Grande Punto (2008, 1.4). It's got steel wheels on it right but I don't know anything about selecting the correct spec for alloys. The tyres on the car are 175/65 R15 84T.
I've seen someone local selling MAK Volare 195/55 R15. Would that be a suitable size? Anything to watch for when buying second-hand?
I'm not interested in lowering the car or getting bigger wheels, so I'd just go for 15" wheels right? any other specs to be aware of? I see that different cars have different nut spacings.
The other big, big question... is changing from steels to alloys likely to affect the car insurance?
Fitting - I assume I couldn't just fit them myself and they'd need aligned/balanced at a garage?
Tyre sizes - assume I'd need to stick with the tyre sizes on the alloys?
Any advice appreciated, thanks.
