I am very new to the site and hopefully I can start chatting to a few of you.
I'm looking on ebay for alloy wheels because my steel ones are awful. I know that i need 4 screws (i'm no good at technical terms) but what size do i need?
What should i be looking for?
Many thanks,
Anthony
I'm looking at black ones for my silver 206 btw

no they wont fit the bolt pattern is incorrect, your looking for a pcd of 108 x 4. That means 4 holes 108mm apart. it just so happens iv got a set of 16" nimrods for sale if your interested

just noticed the offset on those wheels you linked as well, unless you were going to run some hefty spacers (20mm +) they would be buried right inside the arches too, though that's irrelevant as you'd never get them bolted up. Just keep the offset in mind when your looking for wheels, somewhere between 15 & 25 should be ok without spacers

I've just changed mine from the standard 14" steel wheels to 16" nimrods as they are a straight fitment. You will also need to get new wheel bolts as well, try the local breakers, I got 12 for £5.
As stated above the bolt pattern is 4 x 108 pcd, can't quite remember the offset but it's important you get this right as well to prevent rubbing when turning or the wheels sticking out too much.

Makes me want to scream when I see clip-on weights on alloys ... that's why they invented stick-ons.
Every time you have you wheels balanced the old ones scratch into the lacquer and cause a corrosion point, then the new one goes on in a new place and another corrosion point ...
Rant over!!!
