Now, I'm on a budget for this motor, and I also can't go too low/wide/stripped etc as it will soon become a family car So, having looked at my local scrapy, and found some sets of wheels for quite cheap, I am looking for opinions on wheels. 1) 2) 3) (I know Ford pcd is 4x108 not 4x100 but... its the style) 4) The ones with tyres are 13" steelies with 185 70 13s on but I thought they had potential... Would love to know folks views, and then mebbe I can start working on the car!

I'd take into consideration the cost of tyres if you're buying wheels on the cheap. Once you wrap any of those in rubber they'll have cost you a small fortune - I think you could get some nicer wheels for the same price if you trawl ebay a little!

You've got some Renualt rims and some Ford rims in that list (plus two sets of aftermarket wheels) - have you checked that any/all of them will fit the PCD of the Daewoo??
Personally, get JamesP to stick 2" into the original steels, refit the original tyres, slap those hubcaps back on, sort the ride height out.
By the time you've done that, I don't reckon you'll be any more out of pocket than any of your options, but you'll be in a different league in the aesthetics stakes.

Iain!!! 1) Didn't know Tracey was up the duff. 2) Nice to see you have got a car to mess with. 3) I like wheel option 1, but I also like the idea of some weller style steels. D slots for the nascar look

D slots for the nascar look Dude! 1) Cheers, but its still early days yet, we'll be more confident after the first scan in Jan, so don't let too many folks catch on. was gonna ring Deano in a cupla days... 2) It's been far too long 3) I'm trying for the cheapest mods I can do to the most effect (although banded steeleis do interest me if I can do a good enough job with the rest of the car) How goes things with you?

Renault and Daewoo use 4x100 so thats OK, I know the Ford is out, but its was more for the impression...

I'm trying to think of a way to say this without sounding negative, but please, anything but the multispokes They're so bland and generic I don't think they'd add anything to what is a fairly bland car. Just changing the wheels for the sake of changing something.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.
