Kevin Abbott Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Best way of getting a cheap set of alloys is to look on ebay for bmw e30 ones, they have loads and fit the manta spot on my mancona on 15" bmw alloys cost me 150 quid PS, now i have saved you loads of cash please join the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Think you'll find the OffSet of the Manta wheel is different to the Cav so you may well get clearance problems Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris-h Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Think you'll find the OffSet of the Manta wheel is different to the Cav so you may well get clearance problems Andy Looked into that Andy and other than a bit of tramlining on the white lines all should be well,apparently the manta et is 35 which is the cavs limit,cheers for the advice though mate.

rayman Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 May be worth looking at mazda mx5 alloys ,same pcd and offset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Abbott Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Bmw alloys are -20 so will be too wide for fwd cav then, try some honda wheels or you should be able to get a set of 14" manta gte rims quite cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
