as the title, wanted some decent condition 6" x 14" Ford fitting alloys with an ET19 offset or within a few mm of that anyway.

phone 07932 786471 or email n.seviour@ntlworld.com

do they fit ford PCD? (4 x 109 iirc)

Just looked and the citroen pcd is right and the offset is good BUT they still use pesky flat face wheelnuts and need a bore adaptor so no good.

The later alloys use 60° faces. I went to Halfords, knowing that Foxrace or BOZ alloys have a 75-80mm centre bore and spiggot rings to compensate to makers specs.

I asked the assistant with a deputy manager label on his left tit, if he would supply ford spiggot rings on peugeot offset alloys to correct the offsets.

He said that if I wanted offsets, I would have to spend much more money than he was selling his alloys for, in fact he thought that only racing cars had offsets on their alloys.

That blew my theory that ford spiggots in a peugeot alloy would give me 60° faces, a 63.1mm centre bore, and ET19 offsets.

You live and learn

If you don't mind 15", go for Peugeot 405 Mi16 wheels. That's what I'm using and they've got 60° tapers.
Slight issue is offset 29 - but I use 10mm spacers. Wheels fill rear arches nicely.

I've got to the point where every option other than the expesive one is something of a compromise, and I don't like compromising things!!!

Think its time to order some shiny new minilites!

You have to remember Mark, that halfrauds target market wouldn't know what an offset was if it bit them on the a**e. As long as the wheels are Phat as, and fit in nicely with the slammed look and dlocked finish, then they really aren't bothered, especially as the car with the above attributes is usually a french built pile of crap designed for getting to tesco as cheaply as possible.
