Ok, you may know I'm after some 7x13's for my rocco, what are my options?
Obviously i want to do it cheap if poss, but its not looking likely, what with £200 in tyres too.
Are there any steels out there that would fit?
I also seem to remember you can buy offset conversion washers, if so, i could fit mini wheels. The offset washers make up for the 1-2mm difference in pcd.
So far all i can find are ats classics, i like em, but would rather not spend £500 on wheels and tyres ;D
Any ideas folks?

I certainly wouldn't want to start messing about with not-right-fitment-wheels...
And classics ARE the bizzle...

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Yeah, i spotted them ats, ill keep an eye on em.
I asked hom how worn the tyres are so we'll see.
I was looking at wellers website, but the 7x13 4x100 don't have enough offset by the looks of things. Hard to tell as they list it wierdly. Still, there £50 each new, thats a bit rich, might as well buy new classics!

ET20 front?
Most watercooleds are the same in offset aint they? I.E. the rear wheels sit in more than the fronts.
Yours look sweet, maybe ill bite the bullet and get some ;D

My classics were £250 refurbed and repainted off the bay, they look practically brand new. Still need tyres though.

Bolts I have, tyres will be about £160. If my maths serves me well thats £410-430 for everything. I think thats a little cheaper than brand new classics and new tyres. Believe me my classics are like brand new.

Fair enough, tyres ive found, with fitting, work out £50 each minimum. At your prices you saved £60-£80, a worthwhile saving indeed  |

Yeah, ET20 front, but 5mm spacers needed to clear the calipers, so match the front a little more!
