What size alloy wheel are people putting on there Fiat 126?

As I am looking round at fiat uno alloys, but they are 14". They seem too big.

Plus how much for buckets seats (plus the brackets)? As I am 6ft 2" and I don't think I will be able to drive one.

I was reading something about a 6ft 3" driving one with the sun roof open and his head poping out.

Thats the strangest thing I was looking at Uno turbo wheels yesterday,bads news is they're too wide.The widest I ever put on a 126 was 13x5 the Uno ones are 5.5 inch :roll: But here if anyone knows better let me know as there is a set here that I could use (on a perminant loan basis of course)

Im 6ft 3" and can fit in fine. My feet are a bit tight tho! (im only size 10)

Bucket seats range from ~?100 each for crap ones to ~?300 for 'as good as you need for a road car' ones. Be careful that you measure first tho 126's are quite small if you havent allredy noticed! :roll:

You can adapt Uno disc brakes to fit if your clever

I could make some ally drums but its a waste of money imo

Your feet are a bit tight. I am size 13!
I will have to see if I can fit in one before I buy then.

I am going for this. I have rang him and he says that the front valance and battery compartment need replacing.

Where do I get the replacements and for how much? Its J reg.

I thought the 126 BIS part would be east to get and cheap. As its not that old.

I am looking at the diagrams for the battery holder, and it seems that part will be expensive and hard to do (I don't plan on doing the welding).

This is a aircooled one, isn't it?

Just noticed it got no MOT, and your not able to view before buying. Sounds dodgy.
