Was looking through the threads and cinqyabarth fitted them to his cinq in 2007 and it says on it that they are 5.5 x 14" with an et of 34 and the seicento abarth wheels being 5.5 x 14" with an et of 36 so 2mm difference.
Would that mean they would fit straight on without any work?

ah my bad i thought they were the blue\aqua sidelights ! They 6k? Ive got 15s on and 60mm drop but im not gonna warn you at what ive replaced underneath! Ha' thanks for the compliment !
Yeah there 6k and ok i'll not ask whats underneath
Your gonna need spacers on at least the front but yours being an abarth will have wheel studs and nuts rather than wheel bolts. So you will need either longer studs, or to remove the studs and use longer bolts.
I would recommend you get a set of 15mm spacers for the front and prob a set of 5mm ones for the rear - your abarth wheels should have 10mm spacers on the front as standard, its normal for a front wheel drive car to have a wider track than the front. Hope that helps

Thank's once again blu,how would i get on with these wheels?
I'd have to use wobblys and the offsets 30 on them and they look quite tasty

Will be doable yes but i reckon the others look much better personly. End of the day, you can make just about anything fit if you really want to. If i were you i think i would look at lowering the car a little first, will make more of a difference to the look IMO and improve handling. On top of which i think the abarth wheels look ace. I have a set on my sei just painted anthracite and lowered but thats just my opinion..

No i totally agree with you that's what my brother said just keep the abarth wheels on and get the car lowered,he wasn't very keen on the white alloys.
And nice on the anthracite abarths you have i'll need to check them out,are they in your gallery pics?
Do keep the opinions coming it gives a true reflection on things.
Ok i might just get the car lowered and keep the abarths i do like them,i saw these jamex springs for £70 delivered

Blu that photoshop looks awsome!!!
Should lowering 40mm all round be good or should i opt for more like the fk 70/50, 60/40 or 35/40 kit?
Lovley sei you have blu,anthracite wheels look ace,bet it go's like a rocket!

Well my sei is 40mm all round to give you an idea.. I think FK have discontinued the 70/50 kit now, still advertised everywhere but you can't get it unless you find someone with a set in stock (very unlikely).
And yes, she's quite rapid
