Buying new wheels for a 1998 Road sport
Discussion
Hello,
The wheels on my car are a bit shabby so Ive looked at getting them refurbed. A very local company who have a great reputation have quoted a price that makes no economical sense. Can you guys tel me what PCD/size these wheels are and where can I get them from new. I think they are KN and im not fusssed if there silver or polished or whatever. I might even consider some good second hand ones if there not too far away.
Bid

Standard ROADSPORT wheels ARE 14" wheels!! (if it has anything other, they are not the original wheels, unless specified as an option)
However, you may use this as an Opportunity to swap to something different.
Tyre choice in 14" is a little restictive.
You may choose to swap to 13" wheels, and run something like CR500's, A048R's, R888's etc. But the choice of standard road tyres is again restrictive these days in 13".
Alternatively, you may choose to change to 15" wheels, and run something like Stunner Scudo's or Toyo T1R's, in either 195/50-15 (very close in rolling diameter to your standard 185/60-14's), or maybe 195/45-15's roughly the same diameter as 185/60-13's). The Stunners are a great road tyre, but not so suitable for track use (unless its wet, when they are as good as CR500's!).
