Hi everyone,
I have a Punto MK1 (1999) and I think it's time to upgrade to some alloys seeing as the wheels I got now are stock 13" trims, scratched and bashed.
The problem is, I keep finding decent looking alloys on eBay and what-have-you, but all this technical talk about Centre Bores, Offsets, Width, etc, etc is making me feel on the edge :eek:
If anyone could help me find some decent 13"s that will fit, I would actually praise until like forever :worship:
I'm open minded about this topic so any ideas are more than welcome! :D
Thank you everyone! :slayer:

By the way, I'm looking for something along the lines of these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SET-OF-13...s_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item3f20e92cb6
My budget isn't enormous (about£130-£160), and desirably that tyres come along with the alloys.

Thanks again!

read this https://www.fiatforum.com/punto-faqs/

id get 14s or 15s if it was my car

often better cheaper wheels with tyres here https://www.fiatforum.com/classifieds/

them ebay ones dont give the c bore or et and have all odd tyres id not buy them
Hi dave,

I was only thinking about smaller tyres due fuel consumption, I'm commuting 20 miles to and 20miles from work which doesn't pay mega bucks :/, if the 14"s will have the same MPG as the 13"s then I'm all set to go! :)

Thank you for all the info and I will definitely read these threads! :)
 
Okay brilliant! Thank you so much mate! :)
Now I can go ahead and put some bigger ones one :p
Also, quick question, if I do fit some bigger ones on and if they are the right CB, ET and PCB will it require any extra work or extras? Spacers, 'wobbly' nuts, or anything like that?
 
not if every thing is right
wobbly bolts are used when pcd is wrong
spacers are used when offset (ET) is wrong
spiggot rings are used when centre bore is too big.
if you stick to wheels off other fiats ( not grande) it saves buying other stuff especialy if they come with alloy wheel bolts
 
alright man, Dave dropped me a link as im known as somewhat of a wheel whore.

For punto's id run 15" but what style do you want?
Hey dude!

I'm looking for something like a 5 or 7 spoke (or the lovely wire spokes; which I'll never be able to afford :p) 15" or 14" would do nicely! Anyhows, something like that, none of those crazy 3 spokes or completely filled with holes in them like these been used as a bulletproof vest :p

Thanks for helping a fellow Fiat-er out! :)
 
Ive just sold some you would have wanted then haha.

Id look for anything team dynamics and compomotive. You can look into speedlines and other bits. Other option is to stay OEM+ with either GT wheels (14") or punto mk2 sporting wheels (15")

That's a shame dude! But oh well! :)

I've found some Fiat 14"s on Ebay for £40 starting bid! They don't look to bad and come with fairly new tyres! :D
