oponeo.co.uk They are multipla fitment I believe, same size as original alloys (6x15) however offset is 5mm more (31.5mm) so they stick out 5mm less than alloys. Part number is Alcar KFZ 7835.

They phone you up and tell you that they won't fit your car to cover their arses but they do fit, no rubbing etc.
Thanks, I'll take a look. Are you running standard 195/45 tyres or 195/50?

I've got a 2007 V10 Toerag, where is the best place to look for some?

Currently on 18" winter tyres, would prefer to stay 18"

My a4 on its 16" winter steelies.. a guaranteed way to annoy the "s-line bruv" lot



And my old arosa on 15" g60 steels (loved this little thing!)

There's loads on Ebay that look like that but all are described as 'steel' - are they a direct bolt-on for your Morris? If so, they should fit my Riley as the PCD is the same.
No, mine has 4 stud 109pcd Ford hubs. This allows me to also fit some 4 stud Citroen, Peugeot, Saab, Alfa, Audi and Porsche rims on a close to 0ET. My 15x6 rims are 18ET, alloy and weigh 4.76kg.

Tread carefully as there aren't many options for the minor with standard 4" (101.6) PCD and you really don't want to fit 100mm with "wobbly" bolts. In the Minor world Marina upgrades were common (less so now) and some of these (vans were different) are the same PCD as MGF.
Not a problem as one of my Riley One-Point-Fives has Minilite replicas and the other already has the set of steelies shown previously. Thanks for the clarification.

I'm running 195/50 as I'm getting older and prefer a less crashy ride and larger choice of cheaper tyres!

Love this!

Sadly I'm too damn tall to fit in one. frown
I'm a relatively lanky fella at 6ft4 and still manage to fit in the GT fairly easily. Have you tried one on for size ?
Same height as me then...

Tried a mate's Triumph Spitfire with slightly comical results, so I assumed a GT was of a similar size inside.

I'll definitely have to give one a go and see how I get on. Always thought they are excellent cars... and damn good looking into the bargain.

Thanks for the advice.

Used to have a set of "G60" (that design isn't actually the "G60" style, as the G60 ones had round holes, these are Passat B4 winters) on my b3 Passat, sold them for a decent wedge as they were a rare set of 5x100 fitment then bought a set of Corrado VR6 alloys for half the price smile yay for scene tax!

I got myself some new steelies for the panda 100hp to temporarily replace the alloys which need a refurb. Painted them in the shed with matt bronze just because.

I'm looking for a set for my Focus Mk2 - there are loads of alloy sellers around, but where do you go for steels??

Fed up of the corrosion on my Ghia alloys, renowned for white worm...
Try the scrappies, no? They must be full of MK2 Focuses (Is that the plural for Focus biggrin)
