I really like Rota RBs but they don't do them in 4 inch pcd or 101.6 to be metric. Any ideas? It's a studded car, so nuts are needed not wobble bolts.

Erm I'm not sure if this is a wind up but assuming it's not....
Rota RB is a copy of the minilite wheel which was famous on minis.
Minis have 4" PCD.
So I'd start with a set of minilites from a mini.
You haven't said what diameter you need so bigger than 13" could be a problem but they're a common wheel - compomotive ML and think speedline did an equivalent too - and were popular on triumphs which also have 4" PCD too. Rovers as well? MGF?

Small Triumphs are 3.75" and big ones 4.5" pcd. The difference between 100mm and 4" pcd is 31 thou a stud, basically a plug gap.

Sorry for the late reply. I have considered minilites but they are not the same, similar but not identical. I like the pointed spoke and the bronze colour thats available. Are wobble nuts really that bad? I haven't heard of any accidents myself... Minilites  RB's  |

Are wobble nuts really that bad? Don't think anyone said they were did they? You said you couldn't use wobble bolts because the car has studs. Wobble nuts are fine, it's the axial clamp load that holds the wheel on. Not using them is where the problem can arise, the taper nuts pulling into the wheel on a clashing PCD puts a bending load on the stud, which they are not designed to sustain. Potentailly BAD news. Buy wobble nuts, fit 4x100 wheels, be happy p.s. maybe some spigot rings too |

^^ Yes. Definitely spigot rings to locate the wheel if using 'wobble' bolts/nuts
Of course your other answer is pcd adapters
