anyone know if there are any alloy wheels from some commercial vehicle that would fit the 1995 - and before Fiat/Talbot/Citreon?  Think they were all the same base vehicle in basis.  Are 16" wheel size.......could they be bigger?

Am fed up with wheel trims - just wondered if there was any point in trying to locate at scrapyard - just one problem, need to know what donor vehicle one is looking for

careful of the scrappy for wheels - you need to know how they got to the scrappy first. It would be a rare 'accident' that wouldn't cause some sort of wheel trauma. (The unrealistic alternative is to buy a set from the dealer for about 2k )

exactly - unrealistic......so are even decent wheel trims as an alternative.....guess as a minority demand, they can charge what they like.

thanks for reply

It would not be viable to buy alloy wheels from a scrap yard as they would probably be from a car. If you could find some with the correct wheel stud pattern the chances are that the offset would be wrong thus compromising the handling and stability of the van, your insurance may also be void in the case of an accident.You may not be able to get commercial tyres ( they have strengthened side walls to cope with the weight) to fit the alloys too.
