Yep, they're the ones! Rims should still be available from Compomotive. The seller states they are from a Dimma (Peugeot) and that makes sense as Austin Smith and Geoff Turton both used Dimma centres on their cars.

Might do whist I'm saving for some Image minilite replica ones, what do you think they are worth? David

If you are saving for Minilites then whatever these cost/value is irrelevant - just keep saving for what you want! Don't compromise!

I think Peugeots are 108mm, same as a Ford, so the size might be written down wrong if they've actually been fitted to a 205.

I've just checked.
The pcd of these wheels will be 108mm if they've been fitted to a Peugeot 205. 'Looks like the quoted size is wrong.
If they've been fitted to a 205 they WILL NOT fit a Stratos replica.
So, DON'T BID! (unless 100% sure)

You could get alloy Minilite wheels if you wanted - rather than Image split-rims. That would depend on the width and offset you hope to use though.

Phil,saw your ad they would be just the right size and type except I am currently going down the 4 stud Beta/Fiat route and have collected all of the bits including new bearings etc. Suspect a hub change now would be expensive. The other route is new 4 stud wheel centres any idea how much Image charge for these? David

Thats a Shame !!
Image charge around £95 - £100 per centre (RM1) and the rim price varies according to width but that can be £60 - £150+
Good Luck
Cheers

Back to the wheels at the start of the thread.... Having spoken to Geoff he told me that they had the Dimma centres modified - ie drilled at blank stage to suit so these wheels won't fit Fiat/lancia/Alfa centres.

Now it's interesting:
The seller is now including 2 Yokos 285 x 40 x 15" so they must be worth a look, but remember the wheels will need redrilling if they're 108mm, and it's like the seller says, 285s are a bit wide for 9" rims.
