Seicento New Seicento

Nice! Love the wheels.

Thank you! The wheels only look good from a distance. They've been brushed with hammerite. I made the scorpioni centres on my printer.

welcome to cento'dom, i hope you realise your trapped here forever now hahaha.

I am right in thinking T-reg is 1999 am i not - it should have PAS really unless someone has removed it and replaced with cinq bits, only really early sei sportings didn't have PAS.

Other than that, looks good - bit high at the rear compared to front maybe but nice looking sei nonetheless

T is a 1999 but from march - september 1999 - PAS wasnt standard till about mid 1999 so depends when it was registered and its probably older stock anyway so its probably correct rather than had its PAS removed

It is an early 99 model. Its high at the back because the rear tyres are 185/55/14 and the fronts are 175/50/14. They are aftermarket wheels. It should have 13" as standard and the speedo over reads. I want a set of Abarth wheels for it.

Speedo should under-read, surely? More distance covered by wheel revolution.

Abarth wheels are OK cosmetically, but pants for tyre choice.

It really does over read. I'm stumped regarding tyres. Not sure what to do.

As stock they over-read. Optimism is a legal requirement! So, maybe at a real 65 the speedo will show 70.

But the bigger the rolling circumference of the tyre, the lower speed the speedo will indicate at a given "real" speed. Those are the maths.

Find some 6J 14" rims. That way you can run sensible 195/45/14" tyres.

195? Hmm. Where would you suggest looking for those rims? Punto perhaps?

Not Punto. Maybe Marea or Stilo?

There are aftermarket 6J x 14 out there. There are some Croma ones on eBay which I think are 6J, too.

Get in touch if you want to sell your rims.

Really? They are horrible! They need shot blasting and refurbishment. Would do a swap for some decent stock wheels and tyres.

Always after another project

I don't unfortunately have any to swap. But let me know if you get what your after and these are available. What width are they?

Not sure. The rear tires are 185

Would I have problems if I fitted 185/55 s on the front clearance etc?

It'll feel nasty. Avoid.

Whether they'll actually fit will depend as much on the ET as anything else.

Depending on condition, make, etc. you might be better off sticking them on the back.

Got them on the back. Handles ok. Just gives that tipped forward look.

Tipped forward beats tipped back anyday!

Just fit some "correct" wheels and tyres... no point faffing about wondering "what if I try this ???" Keep as close to the original as possible, it was designed and specified for a reason.

Nice little car, should be fun to own and drive..
