Title: MV6 5 spoke wheels
Post by: Sixstring on 08 April 2010, 10:58:11

Just a quickie..........(no comments please....LOL!)

I really like those 5 spoke (irmscher???) wheels fitted to some MV6's. My car is a 99 elite estate, so:
a) will they fit ok
2) are they smaller/bigger than what I already have?
3)are they a dear thing to buy/rare as rocking horse poo?
4)anybody got any spare/available?
5)can I put my existing tyres on them as mine are really quite new?

Thanks all.

Mike.

you mean the facelift ones, not the old two tone 'toffee' ones..

should by 17"...for 235 45 17 tyres

so..

a - Yes
2 - depends what you have...think you may be on 16"'s
3 - in good condition, yes
4 - I havent
5 - yes, if they are the same size, and you can find a back street garage who will do the swap.
