TooMany2cvs 65 Posted January 12, 2014 How strange. I've swapped a couple of the rims on the pikey-spec 1.1 over for some I bought a few months back, much tidier and with better tyres. They look as similar as a manky white-and-rust rim and a shiny refurbed silver-painted rim can do - but the wheel trims just don't fit. They're this style... It really feels as if the inner profile of the actual rim is smaller in diameter - the trim just will not sit inside it. Anybody come across this before? Is it me? Or are there a couple of subtly different 13" steel rim types about? Hiho. The trims are a bit scuffed and scruffy anyway (and I've cracked one trying to "persuade" it), but not as manky as the bare rims look. Anybody got a set of fairly tidy 13" trims going begging, cheap?

jonXS 30 1 Cars Posted January 12, 2014 cheap black spray paint from motor factors, of a tin of hammerite and a brush i guess it depends on the width/depth of the wheels maybe?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TooMany2cvs 65 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) i guess it depends on the width/depth of the wheels maybe?? ...and we have a winner... Half of 'em are marked ET28, half ET35. Looks like the 35s are a half inch narrower, too... <sigh> And, in other news, I seem to have three directional winter tyres for the LH side and one for the RH side. I'm going back to bed now.
