   how the hell are people getting euro wheels onto their saxo's? all the wheels i can find are made for frigging golfs and lupos and audi's and skodas ect..
   
   am i missing something? or do you just have to find some 4x108 ones?
   i want something like ATS cups or something like that.. i've looked on ebay and http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/ and millions of others.

   only a few of the euro style wheels are made in 4x108. dubmeister sell a few in saxo fitment but not many.

   4x100 represents the circle diameter of the holes this cant be changed as they are already drilled ...
   
   if the ET/offset are differant to a saxo (15-18) that is easily resolved with spacers

   unless you get lucky on german ebay i doubt you will be able to find any ats cups in 4*108( ats stopped making them a few years ago in that fitment).
   
   you cant also get adaptors to run 4*100 to 4*108 either.

   There is another way. I managed to get some 100s onto my sax with the use of conversion adapters. I had to have them made from an enginerring company (highly recommended though) up in Wigan. They made me some stainless steel conversion adapters and wheels went straight on. They even made me special nuts for the bolts, that came in chrome. looked slick as, but changed wheels now and sold adapters on ebay. Let me know if you want a contact for them and I'll PM you, Think they were about £120 odd squids.
