Hi Guys,
I used to own a 100HP and also tried to drive it in winter, not funny.
Back then I did some investigation, mytyres didn't list the steel rims then either. I also looked at shop4parts for Fiat originals and non listed (may be worth a further look on
eper). You must be able to get spares of the original alloys (if you don't want to be remounting tyres twice a year) but then you can't get tyres for those rims..
I emailed a few alloy wheel companies at the time and the below is the best response I got:
Please see pictures attached -
Dezent A and Dezent V
they are both available at £270 for 4 wheels delivered
or see picture of Wolfrace ProSprint attached at £230 for 4
The offset of the wheel si nto critical, 35 to 38 will fit correctly.
Yes - you can get tyres from mytyres.co.uk because they are actually based in Germany where they sell a lot of Winter tyres
As regards tyre size, you could probably use 185.60.14 without any problems.
The q and a about tyre size is because 185.60.14 had more options on the mytyres website than the 185.55.14 in the 100HP handbook.
Mathew,
4x98 PCD is very rare.
14" wheels are very rare.
So 14" wheels in 4x100 PCD ET35 including special Fiat fitting kit is the best we can offer
We guarantee they will be a perfect fit on the car.
regards, Duncan

fitting kit = wobble bolts I guess. Time passed, winter passed, I was never 110% about spending a wad of cash and not having perfect book spec/size wheels and I never bought any. Thinking about it now that I've a bit more experience I'd probably have leant stronger toward buying them - especially now that I've driven with winter tyres on my car - what a difference!
Nowadays I drive a Bravo, and got the winter tyres and steelies from mytyres, I can deffo recommend them, they are excellent.
At the following URL you'll be able to review the German tests of winter tyres, use Google translator to get the results in English.

This is very handy website for when choosing tyres (summer, all seasons, and winter). I ordered the top rated Conti Winter Contact TS830 for my Bravo. They don't test all sizes but most tyres are available in many sizes so pick the closest size reviewed and order the top tyre in your specific size.
HTH someone.
