You'll want to phone Adrian Bingham. His eBay account is ade1122, and his eBay shop is BB AUTOS:

His breaker's yard specialises in the 406 Coupe. If anyone is going to be selling Coupe wheels, it's Ade. He also hangs about on the 406 Coupe Club forums (http://www.406coupeclub.org/PHPBB3/); he's been known to give discounts to people who approach him through the owners' clubs (though I'm not sure if that's still the case).

Be sure and mention what style of wheel as well; he may have sets of more than one type available. Being a 16in size, there's:

the Starfish (6-spoke design, with rounded spokes, and a removable centre cap) - fitted to Coupes from 1997 through to 2001

the Hoggar (7-spoke design, with chunky flat spokes, and they're centreless) - fitted to Coupes from 2001 onwards, replacing Starfish

the Nautilus (12-spoke design, with narrow pointed spokes of two colours, and removable centre cap) - only fitted to special edition Coupes:


That covers the bulk of designs that were available in the UK (others were available, but only as a special option, and are rare enough that I've never seen a set for sale over here).

All three types will fit any 406 Coupe without requiring any modifications, regardless whether that Coupe has a V6 engine or not. Offset on all three (I believe) is ET12. Correct tyre size for the 16in rim is 215/55/R16.

Still after a set of 16" six spokes ("Starfish" they are called even though they have 5 "spokes"!)

The ones Ade had all needed refurbing. I haven't really got the extra cash to go through all that so I'd really like a nice set unless really cheap.

Located in North East but travel regularly to Bradford. Any leads call Mark on 07980394618
