im realy after some alloys for my car but low on money at the moment.my mate has given me some vauxhall alloys with new tyres wich he said i could swap for some fiat alloys.but i dont seem to have any interests for them on here.
so the only other option i got is to use the vauxhall 1s on my car.wich do look good when i put them next to my car.i think they are 100pcd and as you all know punto mk2s are 98pcd. i found these on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=290296351911
They are wobbly nuts and im wondering if these realy are safe to use?are they worth there money?and would they chew away easy?or mess up tracking etc. any info you guys have on these would be great.
here are 2 pics of them

I got my wobblies from e-bay for about £30, as for the centre bore - as long as the Vaux one is bigger than 58.1mm you can use spigot rings (fairly cheap) to get it right, if it's smaller (for example, VW have a 57.1mm centre bore) then you'll need hub adaptors (expensive) or for the centre to be machined out (probably expensive).

ok mate thanks a lot(y)
 
Vaux's are typically 56.6mm bore.

Re-bore shouldn't be more than £5 a wheel.
 
so its aprox gonna cost me £50 to get them wheels on?

Minimum, I would check the offset too as vauxhalls often run high offset meaning you need to space the wheels out when fitting them to Fiats.
 
well im after any cheep aloys i cn get my hands on at the mo.going to customise the colour so dont matter how they look.15" though 14 min 16 max.i have a orange mk2 punto so going to spray the wheels black and give them an orange outa lip.im trying to get rid of these vauxhall alloys so i can get some fiat 1s but no interests yet.im even willing to swap these vauxhall 1s with the tyres for fiat 1s withouth but no1 has replyed to my classified :( hope to get some soon
