Alloy question

[reddysaxo]

I've got a 1.1i saxo 3 stud unfortunately. Are the only alloys i can fit 3 stud or can i get the ones that have around 8 holes?

[streakofpiss]

Although i'm not 100%, i'm pretty sure the only ones that fit are actual 3 stud ones... Sh*te init? (Fellow 1.1 owner :p )

Haha think i'm gona get my steelies sprayed gloss black or white, there's just such a limited choice, and they're damn expensive! Plus I think steelies look the shit. :D

[reddysaxo]

Yeah its canny crap cheapest ive seen is around 395ish and dont fancy splashing out on a 1.1

[tazmania_0345]

guys i had this problem with my old 1.1 you have 3 options

1) live with steelies and put some trims on

2) pay some stupid prices for 3 stud alloys

3) or change your hubs which would make your car a 4stud with a very wide choice range

[reddysaxo]

Hm i've considered the 4 stud conversion but aint got a clue where to start what i'd need prices etc.. Anyone got anymore info please?

There is allot of work involved if you plan on doing it yourself,

Take a look in the thread willsy made, he has converted a 1.0 into a vtr/s model.

I'd rather get it done professionally, any ideas on how much a garage would charge?

tehrea are a good few wheels on ebay for 3 stud fitment, have a look at the toora alloys :y:

[reddysaxo]

Thanks Predator there nice wheels but only come in sets of one as far as i can see :S

Change the hub my friend if you can't find the wheels you want.

There are many How-To-Guides spread over the net.

If not take it to a garage. You can get some 40stud hubs from a scrap yard to save your pennies. (make sure they are suitable though).

Garage should fit them no probs. :y:

I considered changeing my hub to 4 stud but i cnt see the point if you are keeping your engine 1.0 or 1.1 i could ubder stand if you were goin to put a bigger engine in. If you look often enough you will find a cheap set of 3 stud alloys.
