I have a 2002 rapier hdi 110 estate and are looking for a spare set of wheels to put my winter tyres on,my question is,what 15" peugeot alloy wheels will fit a 406? There are loads of sets on ebay etc from 206's,306's etc but what will fit a 406,any info much appreciated.

The "Apollo" wheels off've a 307 will fit over the calipers on the 406, and look quite good on the car - though they do sit a little further into the wheel arches than maybe they should:

They also happen to look quite a bit like the "Hoggar" alloys on the more modern 406 Coupes:

Get in touch with ade1122 on the Coupe Club forums and ask him for a quote for a set of 16inch "Hoggar" alloys from a Coupe.

Could be because you're in NI - it'd probably cost a bomb to send. He usually charges £150 + postage. I've still got a spare set of Hoggars. In need of refurb, but out of the 8 Hoggars I have at the mo, 4 came from Ade anyway.

postage to here isnt really that bad, most ebay stuff arrives at the normal rate but probably tyres are a tad deerer. But i still have good condition 15 inch pirellis on the front of my car with the sh*t rapier alloys once they are worn the swap may be easier.

Well i bought a set of alloys today,they are a design called "kite",6 spokes 6.5j x 15 et 18.They came with 205/60/15 Continentals all round for £100 which i thought was a good deal as they are in really good nick.They are Peugeot alloys which i was told were fitted to special edition 406's but i have never seen a 406 with them fitted so i'm not sure what model 406 they came from.Anyway at least i can take my winter tyres off without having the cost of having them swapped from rim back to rim again :D

Not sure how to post a pic on here (bit of a techno biff) but if you go to ebay and type in item number,320638535238 someone is selling a rim exactly the same as the ones i bought

They are. Haven't been able to get outside to do any photos because it's been pi**ing down & I've got the little man. Only got 2 quotes back through Shiply though & cheapest was £70. Usually get at least 10. Don't think too many people are interested in doing a delivery to NI.

is that £70 just for the delevery, or your price for the tyres, what about royal mail, dhl and country express they all delever here.

£70 was the delivery quote I got. Do DHL collect? Can't really do Post Office as it's a total ar*se to try to get a set of alloy wheels & tyres in there - especially with my 3yr old "helping".
