Post #1
Hi guys - wondering if anyone can advise ... im on the lookout for for a new set of rims and quite liked the look of the dotz but my local alloy dealer who had these in stock seemed to think that these werent compatable with the 306 as wee have 'specific fitments' ...however the online guide seemd to suggest otherwise?http://www.wheelbasealloys.com/17_Inch_Dotz_Scarab_BP_Alloy_Wheels_with_205_40_17_VR_Nankang_NS-2__P876_248 anyone any ideas?  |

thanks for the replies guys - glad i asked now !  nice looking wheel all the same as looking for something different to fit the china. seems strange still that my local alloy dealer (who had these in the window) says they wouldnt fit the the 306 and the online fitment guide says they will ... |

+1 on that or if you wanted to keep it OEMish I think the 206/406 Nimrod/Ouragans look really good and if you're not fussed about weight etc. Definitely the best wheels I had on my old China and I think graphite goes really well with China, BMW Sparkling Graphite especially |

I think they'd look gash on a golf, never mind a '6. You're trying to find an up to date vag style wheel to fit a 12 year old Peugeot, with a different pcd and offset, it's gnna be hard! As mentioned before, you could do a lot worse than a set of team dynamics, speedlines or compomotives. Granted they are all Motorsport orientated wheels but IMHO they suit the car much better than halfords multi fits. Oh and in 15" ________________________________________ team: Stealth |
