Alloy Wheels ...size

Post by Foz.Foz » Mon Jan 10, 2011 6:36 pm

Hi all. I was lucky enough to slide into a kerb over the Christmas Hols at about 5 mph on the ice. After taking the van to have it's tracking/wheel balancing done, it turns out that the two passenger side alloy wheels have now been bent a bit. A lot, as it turns out, and now anything speed wise over 45mph feels like being sat on top of a washing machine at full spin.
Anyway, I need to find a couple of alloys to match the two good ones on the drivers side as I can't imagine its the safest thing in the world driving around with buckled wheels.
Anyone know what the size of an alloy is for a Bongo or what info do I need to be able to get one from Flea-bay?
Waying up my options, I think this will be the cheapest, safest way of getting the van back to rights as I had a new set of tyres not long before Christmas to fit the alloys and I can't afford a new set of both.
Thanks for any help you throw this way :)

Hi Foz.Foz,

The size of the wheel will be the same as the tyre ie 15/16/17 inch etc.

If you post a picture of the alloys,someone might be able to tell you the make/type etc.

Cheers.

Cheers Tribal. They are very similar as to what mine look like, but at that price.... :)
Not sure about the nut spacings? Is that the PCD you mention? What is it for the Bongo? Any ideas

Well, my new alloys turned up today (wolfrace trenta). Got to give them a coating of Mer tonight then off to the garage (selecta tyres) to get them balanced and fitted. In case anyone wanted to know where they were from..... HERE

Thanks for help and PM's :)
