I may just get the braked one, but the hipping kills me! How much do you think it would be for the painting?

£9.99 seems very cheap for a spoiler
then you add the £30 delevery, there is a bit of a profit in there.

If you're looking at the 16ins (Ariane) & 17ins (Challenger) they won't fit without spacers.

Nope - spigot rings are what you put in the centre of the wheel (usually small plastic things) so that it sits properly on the hub. For example, a 406 has (I think) a 65.1mm centre bore, but if you bought alloys with a centre hole of 72mm, it wouldn't sit on the hub properly.

Spacers are thick chunks of metal with a centre bore & holes for the studs to go through & are made so that you can push the wheels further to the outside of the car thus correcting the offset.

There's also quite a price difference with spacers being quite expensive & you'd also need longer bolts - not a simple task when you're dealing with standard Peugeot wheels as they have special bolts.

Hang on

If a set of 15in "Apollo" alloys off a 307 fit on my old 406 without needing spacers, how come the 17in alloys also off a 307 won't?

When I say "fit on my old 406", they did sit a bit inside the wheel arches, but not by a comical amount, and they did clear the stock brake calipers, and they didn't foul the wheel arches at all.

Lozz, if you fancy a trip to Norfolk, these are an absolute bargain:

You'll have to be quick though as they won't hang around. If I hadn't already spent a fortune getting a set refurbed I would have hit the Buy Now button already. I paid the same amount for a (reasonable) used set of Hoggars.
