Alloy Wheels

YourName

I have a 1999 Seat Ibiza, and I am looking to get a set of alloys for it, now granted I know nothing about this sort of thing, What size am I looking for and how will I know if they will fit????

Sorry that its such a sTupid question but I just don't have a clue here.

If your buying them from a garage or someone who deals in alloys they will direct you.

If your buying privately you will need to check this LINKY. If the car is older than 03, its 4x100, after 03 its 5x100. Easy way to check that is the number of studs on the wheel, 4 or 5 (4 means its 4x100, 5 means 5x100).

You can then compare the chart for similar cars that have the same PCD. Always test fit one alloy when buying private, just in case.

Hi 15 16 and some 17 ins will fit your car. 15 or 16 will be better cus 17 could rub. If your looking for new or used cheep alloy wheels try Route 66 alloy wheels in ballymount. You could always try the scrap yards but who knows what you will get

I have found some 17" that I think might fit my car. For my car the measurements are: PCD 4 x 100, Offset 35 to 45 and bore 57.1

The car that the alloys I am looking at came off is a Renault Megane, with measurements: PCD 4 x 100, offset 35 to 42 and bore 60.1.

That's all according to the website Senna gave me, do you think they will fit???

Thanks for all the help so far ! ! ! !

They have also been on a Ford Fiesta with PCD 4 x 108, offset 35 - 42 and bore 63.4

If you're going to get a set of alloys I would recommend getting them in the same size as the standard alloys.
All the suspension, steering etc. on the car is set for that size of wheel, if you get a big stupid set of 17s they will just slow you down, make the ride bumpy and make your brakes less effective (increasing unsprung weight)

OK fair enough, I didn't know that I shouldn't get bigger alloys, its just the wheels that are on it now are only 13" and I was hoping for a bit bigger than that.

I wouldn't go bigger than 15 or 16 on an old model Ibiza be honest.
There's more to modifying cars than fitting the biggest wheels possible.

Fair enough then, no I'm not into fitting big dopey alloys anyway, I don't think the car looks amazing with the biggest alloys that can fit it, all I am tryign to find out is what size I should put on, because I can hardly find any nice 13" alloys in all fairness.

I'd go for a set of 16" Ronal multispokes as fitted to the Ibiza Cupra model.

I'm looking to replace my alloys, I was told about

http://www.alloywheels.com/

but I know nothing about the different makes of wheels re quality and durability... any experience of this web site or any advise on which make of alloy to go with and which to avoid?

Cheers
