replacement wheels

Post by Gmac » Tue Nov 22, 2011 10:09 pm

Can anyone suggest alternative alloy wheels to fit to my bongo to replace a buckled one... I've been told that Ford Mondeo wheels are fine.. :?

Mondeo no good. Are they steel? or alloy? If steel, plenty of bongo's getting broken

Alloys Dave, 1 front one buckled so i might have to get whole set, i think it's recommended to have wider tyres on back though..?

Loads on tyre sizes if you try a search.

Original equipment is wider, but lower aspect ratio, on rear, but the same (larger) size all round is fine.

If its 4wd the same circumference is vital.

And welcome aboard. :D

I have a set of 4 good condition 15" Mazda alloys fitted with four new tyres up for grabs.

PM me if you're interested.

I put a set of Mitsubishi Outlander 16" Alloys on mine - no spigot rings needed and perfect fit. If you are going from steels, you'll need new wheel bolts with a shim on - Toyota ones are fine.

cheers,
