Steve W Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Bought our recent N/A with the wheels below. Not fantastic, i know, BUT, they're not TOO ugly (?) AND they have UK 'size' tyres (235/45-17, 255/40-17) so at least i can afford new rears . . . . . soon ! No 'sizes' i can see from the OUTSIDE, do ALL wheels normally have the little stamped/cast size on them somewhere ?? Perhaps at the back/inside ? The front tyre seems to 'sit' perfectly, however the rear tyre seems almost a fraction too SMALL (narrow) for the rim ! The lip of the wheel seems to make tyre bead look too narrow if you understand ? Anyone ever seen these wheels anywhere ? I was hoping my luck would be in and i could do the UK brakes BEFORE the wheels (more important) but the centre piece of each wheel LOOKS like it's 'flat' and so i'd guess probably runs too close to the caliper :thumbdown ANY ideas ? ?

Steve W Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 errrrrrr . . . . NO, i'm not gonna swear ! I'm one of the ones that thinks "IDIOT, where's the pics, ya dummy !" . . . . . .DOH ! Hope you can make out the 'double' lip on the rear ? It means the centre 'star'is running closer to the caliper > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotatom Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Steve, I am told that those wheels are made by Autostrada and are called Modena's. Try not to bust one as he reckons they are mega expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
