What alloys are these?

Post by diesel406 »

I am trying to identify the alloys fitted to my 406 estate (2003 executive) Here's a photo - 7 spoke, 16 inch, and flat faced. All the ones I have seen on eBAY are 9 spoke and not flat ... usually convex. Also the Pug Lion is not removable as I found when I wanted to get one restored as this stops them being put on a lathe! Typical Pug engineers! :x :lol:

Any ideas and does anyone know where I can buy a spare? :?:

Nice of them to say how big it is. If it's for a 306 it's probably 15" :(

If they're the originals for your car you should be able to look that sort of thing up on Service Pox.

As far as I'm aware the 406 only had 15" alloys except for the rounded spoke ones for the coupes fitted with Brembos
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Don't see many 406s about with 16s though

You are right in the respect that the kingfisher (rounded spokes) were supplied more or less exclusively for the coupes, also the apollos were supplied on the later 406 coupes in a 16".

I had a feeling that i had seen these on the coupe and did a bit of digging!

Are these the same?

Maybe the guys in the coupe club could give you more details.

Good luck
