alloy wheels
 
been looking on e-bay at some alloys, whats the meaning of 3 stud saxo alloys and would they fit in place of the standard vtr alloys ?

wat stud fitment do u have 3 stud ?? dunno ever why citroen did this ! its hard to find replacement alloys for them being that 3 stud is rare but vtr wheels are 4 stud so they would fit a 3 stud car mate !

It's only the early base model Saxo's (1.0, 1.1's) that came with 3-studs (IIRC). The VTR's have always come with 4-studs so the world is your oyster (as in choice) :)

The choice for 3-stud wheels has increased dramatically over time. Before, there were no choice but because of so many cars coming with them, they've had to expand their range. A girl friend of mine has a Ph1 106 1.1 Kid (which is now a Rallye). She has 3-stud hubs and has these...



Those are Racelines and I'm "sure" she has Comp's (or something similar) now. I'll have to ask her.

I use to have a 3 studder and found loads on ebay... multi-spoke and the normal style.

Can't get to ebay at the mo but check em out matey! I do remember some tasty oxygen wheels on there that are 3 stud.

Check out www.cituning.ltd.uk as they have 3stud alloys.

Like mentioned the amount of styles is limited but they are out there to be had.

In ref to the first thread - Stud pattern is the shape of the holes in the wheel that holds the wheel on the car.

Most cars these days are 4stud, some bigger cars are 5stud and 4x4's can come with 6stud or more. Look at your wheels and see how many bolts hold the wheel on and thats how many you have.

Slightly worrying that you dont know this, as Im a strong believer that nobody should be able to drive on public roads without being able to change a wheel in the case of a flat tyre.

Sorry if that sounds abit strong
