Hello everybody. I want a second set of wheels for my 3rd gen Panda to fit my summer tyres.
I want to keep the 175/65/14 dimensions to have the same soft and comfy behaviour of the car.

So, I am looking for original or not wheels.
Nice solutions seems to be wheels from older Italians like the Alfetta or older lancias to make o more vintage look.

So here you can post your own ideas.

Have a good day [emoji1]

Anyone?

Fit the summers to the alloys, and get steelies for the winters, alloys and salt Dont mix well.

I got steelies right now. So I am searching for a set of alloys to fit the panda.

Ah' not fit to read me...

I put a set of Mk2 Punto sporting alloys on ours, I know they're 15 inch and not 14 but they suit the car really well, they seem to fit in with the whole square/circle (squircle I seem to remember someone calling it) theme. I'll have to take a picture and post it.

I will wait for your post. ?

Pictures as promised.

I think it sits on these quite nicely.

It looks as if my Mk2 MJ is going to have to step down and be replaced by a Mk3, although the MJ appears not to be offered now on the new ones, but I was presuming that if I end up with an Easy it will have 14" steels running on 175 tyres. For that reason I was thinking of hanging on to my alloys and having them swapped over when I buy.

Although I can't swear to it, I'm pretty certain that manufacturers tend to keep their hubs to the same PCD so it could be quite possible that wheels destined for older cars would fit. Don't forget that the last generation of Ford Ka was basically a 500 in drab clothing so it's quite possible that wheels for that model would also fit. There are also a lot of similarities between recent FIAT group cars and GM (Vauxhall/Opel) models as well.

Donkey's years ago when I had a Chevette, "Vauxhall Motorist" magazine suggested that those wishing for different wheels on Vivas, Magnums and Chevettes might like to try their local BMW dealership as most late '70s '3-Series' models came with steel wheels from the factory and had alloys fitted by the dealer, so most dealerships had a stack of steel wheels they didn't know what to do with.

It might be worth having a mooch round the Internet to find out what the PCD of the Panda is (if no-one on here can tell you) and see which other makes shared the same dimensions. Obviously you'd have to make sure they also had the same number of wheel studs/bolts

AFAIK the current Panda wheels are 4x98PCD with a 35mm offset and 58.1mm centre bore, so your existing wheels should fit just fine.

This is a useful website for working out which wheels you can use on what cars.

Needless to say, TEST DRIVE the new model before buying..... To me the Twinair felt more suited to a diesel driver (apart from the economy) in its delivery.


As noted above by JRK. Same fit wheels on the 319 as 169.


Partsworld have a number of variations available on the PCD98 variety. Moderate prices. For example (gawd knows what the offset is):

Both Panda's 169 and 319 have offset 35, PCD 4x98, and 58.1 centre bore.

You are right. It looks great with these wheels.
Maybe a kinda cheap solution for the wheels on my panda, would be to buy a new set of steelies to fit the summer tires and find a set of 4 vintage looking, wheel covers to make it a bit more, mine.

Thank you! [emoji4]
Is it possible a wheel with different center to get fitted on the panda ?

You can only use wheels with bigger centre bore, but you need to use, "hub centric rings".
