Know anywhere that makes steel wheels to order?

Lum

Looking to get some steel wheels this year, to throw some winter tyres on, this is for both my car and my GF's car.

Problem is both these cars came with 15" 4x114.3 wheels as standard and they both have uprated brakes which now require a 16" wheel, and it seems that this size and PCD combination just doesn't exist outside of expensive aftermarket alloys.

So anyone know of a place that will make us a set of 8 for a reasonable price?

what's the offset & bore?

Could try these two:

Quite a few used alloys that size on ebay, low prices too(atm).

And the last lot of alloys I bought were supposedly multifit 4x100 and 4x114.3 but turned out to be 4x108 despite being stamped on the rims at the advertised fitments.

Incidentially if anyone needs some cheap 4x100 or 4x108 ET35 16" alloy for their own winter wheels, give me a shout

I'd rather just go with new steelies on this attempt, if possible.

http://www.wellerwheels.com/ these guys were decent enough to supply a friend with a set of racing steelies made to order for a decent price but bare in mind that was before things went to pot with steel prices.

If you have no luck with the steelies

would fit

I'd be surprised if a local scrapyard couldn't come up with a set of volvo S/V 40 wheels, I suspect the cheap version used steel too

Lum

Ooh, that second set should be ideal, and these are for a Nissan too!

What's the centre bore and offset on the Volvo?

vaio

35-42 & 67 so should go straight on

Lum

Would need spigot rings, surely? Though I guess a bit of gaffer tape will do given the difference is 1mm

vaio

yep, my thought was 67 bore = 66 hub plus a bit of rust
