It says nothing about the retailers that stock em... just that theres plently of em.

In the UK Compomotive Motorsport wheels are available directly, or from a network of appointed dealers who keep selected stocks of Compomotive wheels.

Compomotive’s experience sales staff will be only too happy to advise you of the exact fitments for your vehicle to create the best looks and performance. Should you require fitment or dealer information please email us at [email protected].

You just wouldn't be able to walk into a shop and buy them - I would have thought that due to the massive amount of different sizes, PCDs, centre bores, offsets etc. available, I'd imagine the wheels are some sort of special order.

errr first google search for 'Compomotive ML's' gets this:
http://www.performancealloys.com/compomotive_alloy_wheels.asp

P.S. You will also need hubcentric spacers.

would they fit a Cinq tho ?

Under wheel description:
"Available in all fitments. Which I guess means they will drill holes to suit your PCD . The classic competition wheel, in FIA approved sizes for use in all forms of road and motorsport.Offset Range: ET-38 to ET+40."
Cinq = ET29 so you will need minimum of 9mm hubcentric spacers.
Sizes that fit cinq are 13x5.5, 13x6, 14x5.5, maybe 14x6

why not just get quotes from CM and compare to their prices.
all they will do is take your order and pass it onto CM

You have to buy them direct as they are made to order.

Typically there is a lead time of 20 working days, assuming they have the castings ready when you order and they can find a convenient slot for baking them in the oven.

If the castings have to be made the wait time goes way up
Similarly if they aren't doing batches in the colour you want the time goes up again until you hassle them into doing the job.

Don't let that put you off - the wheels are very good quality and excellent value for money. Not the best - you can find stronger, lighter wheels but they cost proportionately more.

Best way of getting the wheels done quickly is a bulk buy in a single size. model and colour. You can usually get a discount too. Minimum order sizes for this sort of trick are usually about 12 wheels but could be more. You certainly won't get any breaks ordering just 4.

If you get them made in correct ET then you will not need any spacers that's the point of having the range from ET-38 to ET=40, you specify when ordering.

So if going for a 13X5.5 same size as original get them made up in ET29 to match exactly what Fiat did leaving 3mm spacers on front, if going different size then ET will need to be changed. There may also be issues with brake calliper clearance as I belive that Ghost had issues, and therefore may need to go to say a ET20 or even less to ensure clearance.

I would on account of this be inclined to pick up the phone and actually speak to someone and get all the answers you need to furnish your knowledege before ordering, not sending e-mails back and forth this achieves nothing very quickly.

[StoneNewt]

Cinq - Sei - Cinq - Bravo - Punto - Bravo (?)

eeeeew bad pic

may mail them a better pic to use lmao

The ml's generally need a 10mm spacer to clear caliper anyway...

Mine are 4x98 6x13 with a ET of 26, perfect on the back but the front needed 10mm spacers to clear the caliper

Personally, I don't think so, especially as they're the standard size.
