I'm just wondering what peoples views are on the best place for me to get a second set of wheels, as i'm looking to get my willy wheels re-furbed soon? Could I use a set of wheels from a RT in a scrapyard for example or would these not fit a 16v? Not looking to spend much just need to be good enough to last me while my willys are in for a re-furb. Matt :wink:

And then you're extra happy when you get your refurbished wheels back. :)

rt wheels will probs be too small mate to fit over front brakes, they are only 13" iirc. i still have my set knockin about from my old 1.4 n was gonna use em for that reason, didnt think wud fit then realised i had rsi carriers n smaller discs so probs wud fit my car, but mine a bit of a freak! :wink:

Got a big brake conversion on the front too, which could b a problem...so i'd need to get some at least the same size as the willys as these only have a couple of mm clearance on the inside as it is! :shock:
