AdamP 0 Posted April 20, 2008 I have one 13x5.5 ET20 steel wheel from a PSA car of some sort. I would like some more to put slicks on as they are a little wide for the 13x5 ET28s I have, but what are they from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) are you sure they are 5.5"? 106 uses 5"x13" on ET20. just had a quick scan of Servicebox, 205 is the only car to use 5.5" wide 13's. Edited April 20, 2008 by welshpug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the rest I have are 5x13, either ET28 or ET20. Could they be citroen possibly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdamP 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Just got onto service box, could they be reference number number 5401 67? I'm not at home so cant look at the part number, but 550 B13 FH 420 sounds about right, and it's white so that makes sense. What 205s came with those wheels then?

DaveW 6 Posted April 21, 2008 That would be the 309.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 191 Posted April 22, 2008 Not 309 (they were 5x13) but 306. Part number 5401F7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdamP 0 Posted April 22, 2008 Thanks guys, will be keeping my eye out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisaGTi16v 1 Posted April 23, 2008 I have a set of 4 Visa GTi alloys I was looking to sell cheaply, 13x5.5J although cant remember offset of the top of my head but can check if interested. They clear 1.6 calipers fine and should be ok with 1.9's if you remove the anti rattle springs Look like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisaGTi16v 1 Posted April 23, 2008 They are ET24, just found a photo of one on my PC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdamP 0 Posted April 23, 2008 Thanks for the offer but I'm really on the look out for the steels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisaGTi16v 1 Posted April 23, 2008 Alloy cools better but I guess not such an issue on a hillclimb car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdamP 0 Posted April 23, 2008 Alloy cools better but I guess not such an issue on a hillclimb car. Its not going to be running to the full heat capacity of the brakes anyway I shouldn't think. The main thing is for them to be easily replaceable, but I do also like the look of a set of steels with racing tyres on then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisaGTi16v 1 Posted April 24, 2008 Even if not interested in mine its worth finding the weight of any wheels you are thinking of using as extra unsprung weight is one of the worst things to have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdamP 0 Posted April 24, 2008 Even if not interested in mine its worth finding the weight of any wheels you are thinking of using as extra unsprung weight is one of the worst things to have The 13" steels with avon ACB 10s I run are almost half the weight of the 14" alloys with yoko's I also have! (10kgs vs 18kgs). Steelies are surprisingly often lighter than their equivilent 'stylish' alloys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisaGTi16v 1 Posted April 24, 2008 Thats a good weight saving, its suprising how tyres differ in weight as well. I think the 13" 6J xr2 rims I run with Michelin slicks are about 12kg. Makes it even funnier when people put massive wheels on their cars! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes it even funnier when people put massive wheels on their cars! Yeh the 160/530 michelin slicks and 6.0/21 ACB 10s I have weigh the sqare root of bugger all compared to the 185/60 yoko 21Rs. I'll do a more detailed weight comparison at some point I think, could be surprising for a few people! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
