Wheels for trailer?
coozer - 25/4/13 at 02:29 PM

I need a couple wheels for my trailer, is there any newish small cars with 4 x 100 steel 12" ones?

Problem is my local scrappy doesnt keep anything for more than 5 minutes and everything is newish.. no old stuff at all!

are you 100% sure they are 100mm pcd? many trailers used to be Mini fit wheels at 101.6mm (imperial equiv of...) and of course they made them in 12" wheels too.

I think you'll struggle to find any modern car with 12" 100x4 rims.
Here has new:

Or go up a size and fit 13" Vauxhall rims with lower profile tyres.

Late Metros and Rover 100 were 95.25mm PCD - no use.
Early Metro were 101.6mm i.e. 4"

Got a nice pair with new tyres out the scrap yard off a Fiat Cinq, they fit perfectly and even have the right size centre hole.
