Question Difficult To Find 15" or 16" Wheels

I'm finding it difficult to find a set of alloy 15" or 16" wheels to suit the Fez.
Out of all the different tyre/wheel shops,only Bob Jane had 2 style of wheels, that they 'thought' would fit. The dealers seem to roll their eyes as soon as you mention the 4x108 stud pattern.

Can anybody recommend by brand and model a 15" or 16" wheel?
(I can't go any larger than 16", due to a spinal condition)

depends on what your looking for. some places can custom drill your stud pattern. i think its speedy wheels that can do that. i was going to get a set of lite 7 wheels custom drilled. but got the 17" focus Mp3 wheels instead.

Yes, Speedy do keep some models as "blanks" and can custom drill them to suit. They could do some 4 x 108 wheels when I was after them for my Mondeo.

There are quite a few available now, depends what style of wheel you're after, I know Advanti make the Medusa's in 16's http://www.yhi.com.au/Advanti/advantigallery.html #14 and maybe the Vapour as well. If you give me an idea what you want I can ask my suppliers whats around, and send you some info.

BTW PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't look too hard at the Tempe or Ozzy tyres website, I've had to deal with them a few times, and for the trouble you have with them it's just not worth it
