Im trying to find some decent Alloys for my car, but nowhere seems to do some that will fit, always seems to be an offset problem, can anyone help?

Cheers mate,

Im having a mate service it sat, so he will check it all. Love me car to bits, its just the wheels that I want to sort any idea where I could get some that would fit?, just had some EBC Green stuff brake pads fitted, dont trust cars that have turbos and standard brake pads = no stopping

There are loads of peeps here that have modded their 406's, I'm sure they'll be able to point you in the right direction.
Mine is all stock, I can't afford all the goodies with rugrats running around :( :lol:

My son wants me to do stuff to the car, other half wants me to do tourin style, but I just want subtle looks. Im lucky, cos I know someone who owns a tuning and styling shop so that helps, but even he can not get wheels for my car. Anyway, I have gone from a citreon AX to a 406, so i reckon time to have some fun with it :lol:
