Mini Cooper GP Wheels on a Fabia?

fletch555 · 21-12-2006, 08:53

Has anyone got these wheels on their Fabia? I did a quick photoshop and I think it looks well but I'd like to see what they look like in real life..

OOOOOhhh NO !!!!!!

You may get copies to work, but I doubt legit ones will have the same bolt - space arrangment.

(arent minis 4 stud pattern?)

looks nice though.

Mini's are 4x100 PCD with an offset of around ET38-50.

You can get them onto a Vauxhall, but not onto a Fabia. Your only option would be to find a manufacturer that makes replicas, purchase the wheels as blanks and have them machined to your spec.

Rochford Tyres sell replicas which they claim will fit the Fabia (although I note that the picture only contains 4 stud holes)

Honest opinion????

Yuk!!!!

Yuk No No No Noooo

Have to say, I'm not keen. Getting a set to fit will be a bit of a mission too!

irfant · 21-12-2006, 10:30

Don't do this!

martyrobertsdj · 21-12-2006, 10:37

Horrible!!!

The Older cooper S alloys may look better, but as people have said....4 stud.

The Nuvolari look kinda similar.

fletch555 · 21-12-2006, 11:00

Wow that's a very resoundingly negative reaction! Personally I still like the look of them. Originally I was thinking of Audi RS6 replicas but they're getting very common now. Then I liked the look of Oz Hydras.....ahh I think I'll just leave the original wheels in place!

bit ****-tastic

Standard vRs wheels look good too

stuart_hatch · 21-12-2006, 11:37

You can get adapters so they fit on, in my opinion they dont look too bad, but can think of many better rims

ric04vrs · 21-12-2006, 11:45

please dont do it , you know it makes sense not too

themightygez · 21-12-2006, 18:53

eeek!

WeirdKerr · 21-12-2006, 20:12

oh dear that looks ummmmm not sure

Snoopie · 21-12-2006, 20:40

Putting them on a Fabia would ruin the car...

Decron · 22-12-2006, 01:49

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but those rims don't even look good on a Mini

stuno1 · 22-12-2006, 15:26

Wheels on a car are a really personal thing, personally iu think they look nice, and if you really like them then it is worth making that extra bit of efort. Go for it!
