BIS alloy wheels
« on: November 04, 2010, 11:00:10 AM »
Hi,

I'm trying to find a set of alloy wheels to replace the standard BIS wheels currently on my son's car. He'd consider anything but I would prefer a wheel that would avoid having to also modify the wheel arches / hubs / speedo , etc for the new wheels to fit / work correctly. Or would this be necessary with any alloy set?
Local collection would be great but happy to travel (from West Yorkshire) to collect.

If there's nothing out there second hand then I'd really appreciate advice from anyone on which rims / tyres they think suitable and also where to buy from.

Thanks.

Darrell

Whereabouts in West Yorks?
I have a set of 14's which I was going to fit to my Sei, but I'm now planning on getting a new car in the next few months. I started spraying them yellow to match the car so you'd most likely need to get them professionally refurbed to your own choice of colour. They have an offset of ET35 so should fit straight on and are 6" wide so with 195/45 tyres should sit quite nicely inside the arches without any rubbing or interference. They have a PCD of 4x100 so will need wobbly bolts in order to fit, the center already has spigot rings to fit a Fiat hub of 58.1mm.
I think that's all the info you should need. They do currently have tyres on which will be far too big and are worn beyond the legal limit, I have left them on to protect the rims whilst they've been in storage.

Eklipze3k,

Thanks for your reply.
We live just north of Leeds so not too far from you and happy to drive across to Huddersfield and meet up.
Please could you say how much you're wanting for your wheels & whether you have 4 or 5 available?
Also do you have photos of the wheels that you could forward and any idea where I could get wobbly bolts from / how much?
Really like the design of alloys on the two 126s on CLUB126UK's Home page - parked in front of the Hertitage Motor Centre. Could anyone say what these alloys are called and if the cars have been slightly lowered?

thanks

Hi Jeremy,

Some pictures here - http://www.fiatforum.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=1933

It's a set of 4, wobbly bolts I bought off ebay - IIRC the BIS uses M12x1.5, you'd need a minimum shank length of about 30mm I think, maybe someone else can confirm that though. Price wise, I paid £150 for them, knowing that you'll need to get them resprayed I think £100 is a fair asking price.

Send me a PM if you're interested and we can get something arranged [-/
