Re: alloys

its ok i've found another thread which tells me, 98mm stud pattern but 100mm will fit, and yes bmw 4 studs fit. just gives me that much more choise. watching some 17" black 5 spokes, buy it now £150 or £100 starting bid, good tyres but abit scuffed. £80 sounds better to me for them, will wait and see if they dont sell and offer him £80.

Re: alloys

If you want to fit wheels that actually fit, then it's basically Fiat or Alfa...

exactly, i got mine from a Lancia , it has 4 studs with 98 pcd and the Centerbore fits perfectly

check for some new fiat designs, stilo have nice 17`s , coupe 16" is always a good choice, maybe a set of old lancia Delta evo wheels, a while ago i`ve seen some for reasonable prices over ebay.

finally, good luck and best regards

Re: alloys

well i've just bought some 17" five spoke fox alloys off ebay, £64
going to see what they look like on, if i dont like them i'll just sell them on for £100 lol.

tyres are a bit low but i have 3 new ones on the black ones i've got so just get them swapped over, maybe get them powder coated gun metal grey

Re: alloys

picked them up today, they have been sprayed white with a aerosole can so finish is crap plus they have some small kurbbing marks but no problem ill get them refubished and powder coated, my mate got his done for £30 a rim but he didn't shop about, and his had really bad kurbbing marks so im going to try get them done for £20 a rim if possible.

Re: alloys

I paid £30 a corner for tidy up and powder coat in the anthracite. Plain alloy silver was £5 less. That company now charge £50 a corner for the standard finish!

I've found somewhere else though that still charge £100 for the full set

Re: alloys

only just got around to trying the alloys on my car and guess what they dont fit, they fit on ok but when i went to turn the car around so i could fit the other side the centre catches on the caliper on the four bits that stick out on the alloy they looked good on as well.

Sorry to hear about the wheels m8... They look a nice set of rims too.

What are you after ? Coupe 16v Turbo ? Coupe 20v Turbo ? Original Sedicivalvole 5 Door ?

I've got a few sets you can have a look at 2moz
