New wheels

[bigdavid]

I have been looking of new wheels for my 280i but no luck, what size would I be able to use and where could I get them.

Errm - at Back Home there were four SEACs with four different sizes of wheel. Take your pick !

Seriously - You could always refurbish the old ones.

When I was looking for new wheels I found a web site that has an on line ordering and has a list of all the wedges. See www.performancealloys.com/index1.asp
I ended up buying another set of original alloys instead so I don't know what they are like but the prices look quite good to me.

David,
what are you paying for refurbishing the wheels? I want to get the best ones out of the two sets I have done.

Big David,

I've got 3 good (and 2 not so good) standard 280 lattice style wheels with plenty of tread on the tyres if you're interested.

I'm in Lancashire (Rochdale) so probably just over th'ill from where you are.

After much searching for new set of alloys for my 280 I ended up fitting 15" wheels off a 350 with slightly lower profile tyres to keep original diameter. Look better than std 14". Biggest problem I found is getting new wheels with correct offset as most are now for front wheel drive with larger offsets. Also Granada fittings don't seem to be that popular! Spare set of 14" going if anyone's interested.
