hi gang, im thinking of a set of weller wheels for my panda 750L, just wondering if u have anyother ideas or know if these will fit?

That was a spectacular post, helped me a bunch as I'm wanting some new wheels too.
What problems would 15x7" wheels cause. They have an aspect of 45 but I've no idea what that means. Is it the new term for offset or something?
I require 15inch rims to suit the diameter of the disk brakes I plan to fit and I'm looking at Team Dynamics Pro Race 3 wheels.
This is a bit of a hi-jack, so apologies to the OP.
15" wheels are not easy to fit and come with their own issues, but gearing isn't an issue. 195/45r15s are only 8mm taller than what I run every day and I am considering going a touch taller than this when my tyres are worn. With a larger engine like Alex plans to fit, you want the gearing.
Main issue is the fouling on bodywork.
@Huck: If you are considering my brakes I offered you, there are options to run 14" or 15" wheels with them. I will explain when you come over. Don't buy any wheels until you know the brakes you want!
I have some 15" x 7" wheels with 195/45 tyres. I'm going to test fit them to my Panda to see how they are. 7" is probably too wide though, 6" should fit OK I reckon. I'll post pics later.
The 15" x 7" wheels fit with a 10mm spacer on the rear and none on front. Only put one side on. Went for a drive down the road and there weren't any strange noises. The rear would rub if you loaded it. All depends on how hard suspension you intend to run I suppose.
That's quite surprising! even my 175/70/13's rub on the back when loaded, so to have 15" x 7" do no worse opens up the options.
Do you think there would be any performance gains going this route Lewey, or is it a choice better kept for creating a particular look?

and for only another £100 perhaps the other side too?!!I think Westwood put some 17s on that green Panda they did.

Those wheels and tyres in the pics are for sale for £100. I can only find half of the bolts though.
