4 stud (Ford fitment) alloy wheels
Hi all..
have been looking and looking for a set of 16" x 8" alloys, but can't find anything I like - and I'll be needing some soon -
so I thought I'd ask if anyone has any lying around taking up space... could at least use them until I can make a decision!
Chris
(PS yes I definitely want 16" - despite knowing all the arguments against!)

Have you considered pug 206 gti alloys? they are 16" (not sure about width). Even is just as a temp set cheap from scrappy

Got a set of five Ford seven spokes, fitted with 195 x 60 x 14's. Tyres have done 800 miles, still like new. Includes set of 60deg nuts to suit.
£150 if your interested. Cheers, Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Hi Chris,
Thats the Dax wheel question then 
The only OE 8"x16" I know of thet fit the bill are the ones fitted to (real) Escort Cosworth 4x4's (strangely the same size wheel
and tyres as Dax recoment for the Quadra  )
Other than that there are compomotive MO's and they can come with 0 offset - also in 7"x16" and 7.5"x16" for the
fronts:
http://www.compomotive.com/
And some of the Borbet wheels have the right sizes too:

Other than that there is the 7"/9"x17" team dynamics pro race 1.2 (the one in the group buy) or 3 piece
thats all I've found so far - but then I've only really been looking for 5 spoke designs

I have a set of 16 x 8" rims going spare AND FREE 
Trouble is you will need to glue on an extra Stud, cos they are off my Land Rover
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Hi Ray,
They sound good - but I think I need slightly bigger to get the bodywork set up properly... I wish there wasn't so much choice then I might have
made a decision by now!
