Well firstly, hello again all :)
Been away from the forum for quite a while, but i've not got rid of the trusty Tipo. :D
Amongst other things the car has had a major service, in which everything was changed and now he runs like an absolute dream!! But there is one thing letting him down.
When I had the accident in the car, one of the wheels was buckled. And the car is unbearable to drive at speeds over 50ish as it vibrates so much :bang:
What I want to know is the offset of the steel wheels on the car. I know centre bore and PCD, and that they're 14's, but I don't want to go and get a wheel off say a Punto and find that it's wrong.
Can anyone shed any light for me?
Thanx :)

Thanking you muchly :) does anyone have a pic of what it should look like :eek:
I don't have the car with me or else i'd be looking myself, but i'm near looms in Derby for a couple of days and when I was there earlier there were two teapots in.
I just didn't know where to start looking in the pile of steelies!
 
Well obviously :p but bear in mind that there is a pile of steel wheels, all sizes, all makes and models piled up in a corner and if I knew what sort of style I was looking for it would be a start.

If I knew the offset and width it would be even easier ;)
Done a bit of research and I found the offset of a Tempra is ET43.
If anyone can confirm this is the same for a Tipo that woud be a great help. :)

tipo and tempra is same offset of alloys and steelies for similiar motorisation.. /same engine sizes... i think 16v are slightly different in offset coz calipers and hubs... but not sure sir...(y)
