Please help me identify these wheels!!

I have that exact same car and love the way those wheels look on it. I was previously tempted by black wheels but too many people are doing that and since these wheels are multifitment I could use them on my next car too, whatever that may be.

Anyway help would be greatly appreciated in identifying the wheels in the pic.
Thanks

Firstly, multi-fitment wheels will fit cars with one of two PCDs. They won't fit any car. In this case they will probably be 4x100 and 4x114.3 or 4x100 and 4x108.

Secondly, multi-fitment wheels look gash and say "I got a bargain at Halfords."

and IMHO a bit unsafe, hmmm only 4/5ths of your wheel nut holding your wheel on?

What do you mean? Multi-fit wheels have two sets of holes, one for the smaller PCD, another for the larger. The wheel is still physically attached by the same number of fasteners.

I think I get what thepedster is talking about. A mate at uni had some where the different fitment holes overlap slightly so instead of having 2 sets of round holes you had one set that looked like elongated figure of 8's.

Looked horrible but it originally had centre caps to cover them up... before 3 of them got lost/stolen

aha lordrobs is on the ball, there are 2 styles I forgot about the regular style of having two wholly seperate sets, which again unless covered up by a centre cap look crud!
