HELP, wheels purleeez!

[macdeb]

I have for a while now been phoning around for some replacement wheels for a Chimaera. It seems no bugger wants to help [saxo market must be strong] given it serious thought and come down to wanting 17" with standard four stud pattern considering clearances costs etc. Can anyone point me in the direction of a helpfull wheel supplier?
cheers.
PS. If successful there will be a set of chimaera wheels and tyres which have only covered 6.7k miles from new! which will be posted on parts for sale.

Both very helpful and have 17" wheels to fit. You may have to compromise a bit on offsets and widths but nearly everyone does.

Got khan 17inch alloys on mine with low profiles on. (see profile) Have seen them on the web, but cant remember where. They cost about £780.

What do you fancy, I can deal direct with most manufacturers and put them on to you at cost, I use Kahn RSSsm and they are the mutt's nuts!

I reckon we should get him on if not.

Kahns no good, look awesome on?!

Corin, your 'KHANS' look pretty cool. Similar in style to what I'm after. What offsets did you go for? I know of another Chimaera with et40 all round with small spacer on front with no problems. Any supplier I've spoke to with PCD and offset details just keep saying 'Means nufink to me mate, wot car is it?' then say nothing will fit!

[Bomber Denton]

ET30 all round, you can run a 5mm shim on the rear if you want, the last set of Kahns I supplied I managed to get ET18 front and ET35 rear. (Standard is ET16 and ET35 from memory? will have to check)

The ET30s work a treat if you drive hard..look how they tuck in!

Looks like you're running on the rims.

Personal taste , but I don't think they suit the car.

He watches the classifieds, but didn't realise PH had a forum too!! Seconded to get him on. I've recommended he gets some PH advertising going once Sportmotive is fully marketable ie website in place with pictures of that awesome precat he's currently fixing up
