    Hyundai use the same bolt pattern and offsets. however, they have not made steelies over 14/15" for years (if ever) if you want that size in 16's then it will have to be alloys....

    Vaio, how did you find those because when I use the eBay wheel search thing and pick the options I need neither set of wheels show up.

    I'm going to go for those Primera ones I think, but will likely need a second set for putting winter tyres on the GF's 200SX, which will most likely result in hilarity.

    If the S/V40 wheels fit, then so would the Mitsubishi Space Star and Carisma -- just to extend your options.

    When I was looking around for wheels for the Space Star I noted that several larger Kia/Hyundai models had wheels that would fit as well -- in particular the Magentis/Sonata.

    Well I got that Nissan set for 21 quid, so happy days.

    Will go looking for a second set once I've got these ones.

    "wheels 16 4x114" is the ebay search term then use the "auctions only" tab to remove most of the £400+ new wheel sellers

    http://www.carlsalter.com/wheel_fitments.html or similar off google gives the bore & offset

    I have a set I thought were off a 200sx but they are 5 stud

    Those will be off an S14 (late 1994-1998) 200SX. We have an S13 200SX and an A31 Cefiro, both of which are 4 stud.

    Winter tyres are much cheaper on 16" and below I've found. She is currently running some silly size 17s, hence the need for different wheels.

    Don't know, I run 17s on my S4 and 16s on OH's GTV and don't remember the 17s being particularly expensive compared to the 16s although I do tend to buy off ebay when I see a bargain.

    My current set (Blizzaks) came brand new (8-9mm) & fitted to the SX wheels £175 for the lot, OH's (wintercontact) were part worns (5mm) at £25 each, both plus delivery & fitting/swapping

    I suspect the trick is not to leave it until nov/dec
