Could people post up their pics of different wheels fitted to 405's please. I'm trying to work out which wheels look good and which to avoid. I was thinking about the later 206 GTi 16's to put on mine. Cheers

hmm not too sure about those .

maybe they would look better with the required 10mm spacers (ET28 -> ET18).


does anyone have pics of 405 on:

- OZ Chrono
- OZ Superleggera
- Compomotive MO
- Arospeed RSGT

?

Here's a nice June 1992 405 Mi16 with the knock sensor. Yes, the later engine management. And what do I do?! Yes I killed it for a bloody 309!!!!!!!!!! I deserve a slap for that.
Anyway this is with the speedline alloys from the 205/309 GTI. They look a bit cack BUT they stick out 10mm more than standard Mi16 alloys so when viewed from behind it gives the car a better looking stance.

The 206 nimrod rims look quite good powder coated white

The standard rims would look awsome powder coated black

Totally agree there BUT is it a case of those rims looking good cos they match the paint of the cars they're bolted to?

A lot of our users, including myself have got other rims on there car's, please have a look.

There are even a lot of people with 406 rims on there car. I haven't seen any 206GTI rims on a 405 but this should give you a problem.

I think you're right. Here's a pic of my 405:

I think the 206 Nimrod wheels, powder-coated black with the 10mm spacers could look good?

Thanks for that link, a lot of nice cars on there. I think THIS 405 looks good, not sure which wheels they are though

Ive gone through 3 sets of 17's on my mi16 so far...

First the Oz polaris...

Haven't got a clue of the make of wheels i got on, but they are 16"

Here´s one pic of my old rims, Fondmetal 9a 5mm spacer (ET30, the bolts were to long without 5mm spacer) 205-40-17 tyres

I liked that look very much. I found it "elegant".

Both very nice sets of rims you got there eric. Love your track set!

My second Mi16 with Speedline 15x6.75 15ET Pug. Motorsport wheels. I still can't believe I sold it with the wheels!

I take a pic. of my Mi16x4 with Simmons 15x6.5" over Easter.

that was a silly move peter

Did you originally source them in Australia or overseas?

Just found a 405 on eBay with different wheels on which I think really suit the car, but I'm not sure what they are. I think they are from a 306. The pic is below. What does everyone think?

Tut tut, you should really know better, those wheels are standard on the Le Mans model.

for some reason i also think they look good on 405's.

and i think they came with some 306's too.

p.s. do i suspect 195/50/15 tyres there?

306 XSi, S16, and some of the diesels have them. Same offset as Speedlines and T16 wheels.

oops didn't know that! I thought they were fitted to a 306 XSi, but didn't know they came on a 405

I would like Compomotive CX's with polished rims and Gold centres.

But cant justify spending that kinda money - £250 a wheel plus tyres!

those wheels look MINT they look sweet ive just got mine but wilol put wheels on it on day soon ah they can look so much better with slightly bigger wheels on them

yea mines silver i think it would look mean with a set of those and some tints ah

hi group im looking to buy some wheelsand currently getting baffled by the different sizes ! can anyone please tell me the exact size i need such as offset and nut size? many thanks dan

Standard Mi16 alloys are ET29 or ET19 for the LeMans. PCD is 108 I think.

sorry mate i should have said that im not after standard ones and thinking of 17"? also what tyre size would you reccomend? cheers mate

Don't have a pic on the car as these are on a 306, but the standard rims look great this colour

Indeed they do!

Dan, what I meant was that you'll need alloys that have the same PCD and offset as the standard alloys.

oh ok mate i get what you mean! whats ET29 is that thet pcd? do you know about tyres mate?

ET29 is the offset. Basically it means the bit of the wheel that touches your brake disc is 29mm out from an imaginary centre line when viewing the cross section of the wheel (OMG how's that for a shit description).

PCD is pitch circle diameter, I think lol. PCD must be 108, anything else simply won't fit

Most Pugs are weird in that their standard wheels stick out alot compared to say Vauxhall or Ford wheels and this is why you often end up needing really thick huncentric spacers if the aftermarket alloy of your choice was made with say a Ford in mind.

I'm crap with tyres, I'm not even gonna say what make is on mine.

I don't understand why pug made Mi16 wheels with a 29mm offset when the 205/309 GTI alloys are 19mm offset and increase the track nicely on a 405. Maybe they thought 205 drivers would steal them. Funilly enough I saw a 205 GTI with Mi16 alloys on it yesterday. I should have shouted out the window "You aint having my fcuking engine though mate!"

Looking at that they may be the same wheels...
They look nice with that maroon!

Look nice against silver too mind...

white MO's on a white 405 .

MO's are special, one of my all-time favourite wheels.

unfortunately, they are pretty expensive too .

That looks real good!
nice car btw

My favourite wheels too. Always fancied a black Mi with white MO's. Might get some black 16" MO's on mine once the engine is all sorted

Has that car been lowered at the front but not at the back?

Hmm definately looks that way. If it has it must be good for a bit of LOO!

My car is the same, as in it looks the same but in fact the back has been lowered too but if you put just one person in the back seats it's back parallel to the ground again.

Thank you

iis this anybody's car in the forum? i remember seeing this car somewhere in here

A few pages back I posted it was one of OUR members.

My miD runs on my Goodwood alloys:

that looks interesting.

is that a 309 dimma behind your car?

That it is. It's currently on the 405 rims. Slight inset problem! But just temporary untill I get the wheels refurbed.

What are peoples opinons of the wheels on this 306 being put on my 405? I think they would look quite good IMO
