Wheel data
Does anybody know of a good site with wheel dimensions against car manufacturer, PCD offset and the like. I am looking for wheels for the scim but it has a very unfashionable 3mm negative offset. This leaves me with either using something like 40mm wheel spacers which isn't going to happen. Making new hubs and stub axle (not sure what the results of that would be like) or getting custom wheels which by the time your finished isn't far short of £350 a wheel plus tyres. So in a last ditch attempt I am trying to find a car manufacturer with as near as possible dimensions and that wheels are readily available for.

All I could find that were close(ish). You'd need a narrower spacer with the BMW's and you'd certainly get more choice. Not sure of the selection of 'great' wheels withe 4x4's though
Vehicle Bolt Pattern Offset(mm)
Kia Sportage 5 x 139.7 0...3
Toyota Land Cruiser 6 x 139.7 -15...3
Various BMW's 5 x 120 13
Good luck

Minilite sorted me out my 15" wheels, give them a try also as they can havethe wheels made in all sorts of shapes and sizes at your request. Cheap too yet very high quality. Mine worked out at £120 a wheel (15x7) painted gold with a diamond cut rim.

No split rims is what I first looked at but by the time you add all the bits to them they come out at just short of £350 per wheel plus tyre. I just don't want to spend that kind of money and if I had to I would just keep the wheels I have.
Gav if it was a Ford I had it would be easy as there are any amount of wheels for little money out there that fit them. Will look out minilite though and see if they can do anything for me.
Have mailed Compomotive for prices as their site is priceless so will see what comes back from them

Ratger than go thru Compomotive, have a look at Peter Loyd Rallying or similar, they seem to be cheaper than most http://www.peterlloydrallying.co.uk/

I can at least vouch for the strength of minilites. I cocked up the exit of a roundabout once, slammed the n/s/r wheels into a kerb, bent the halfshaft ALOT, shattered the wheel bearing, ruined the bearing housing in the axle casing, bent the disc and caliper bracket.
the wheel was perfectly straight though!
