Styling Warning, Stupid question!!

[carlos1981]

Standard wheels on my MK1 putno (60 S V plate) what size are the wheel trims?! wanna get some new ones, as while getting used to the car ( first few weeks) kinda scratched them, and one has gone walkies!

Looking at going here (Cheapish for now as i'll look at alloys later (6 + Months)

as they also do rear wiper blades which are 4 months overdue!! (Finally found some!!!)

Cheers, and sorry or being such a dumb ar*e,

Carl.

My Mk1 EL had 14" but I think it may be 13" because when I looked for tyres the tyre finders came up with 13" but for some reason my 55 EL had 14" tyres (steel wheels)

Not much help am I!

My 60s has 13 inch. You can check on yours to make sure by looking at the sdiewall of the tyre. It'll read something like 155/65/13, the last number is the rim diameter.

Cheers col7104,

Tyre wall said 14 and i found a ruler in work, took one off and it is 14" so new trims on the way!!!

I've got a 60sx, tyre dimensions are 165/65/R13. You said that one of your wheel trims went walkies - How'd you manage that? You'd need to undue the wheel nuts to get the wheel trims off - well, you do on mine anyway. Hope I've been of some help.

on a V plate, there was no such thing as an S spec - it changed to the S Team. That included 14" wheels along with other touches like the padded headrests, rev counter, blue dash surrounds, and a different steering wheel to the usual S.

Cinqy,

I know it's the S Team, forgot the team!! I got the blue trim, rev counter, temp gauge, padded headrests, and a better looking interior.

IMCMIL10, the trim i have are not the origional ones, the ones i'm putting on are and so have the holes that go into the wheel.
