Default C3 wheel choice with 4"BS

Hi,

Trying to find reasonably priced 18" x 8" wheels for my C3 which have a 4"BS. Most 1 piece wheels (read cheaper) have a 4.5" BS, whereas the 2 piece wheels (read dearer$$) are available in varying BS including 4" which suits the C3.

Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced 18"x8" with 4" BS?

Where did you buy your Coys from Craig? Also what brand of coilovers do you have on the front of your car again?

Thanks, Colin

Hi Colin

I got them directly from Coys in the US.

They shipped them to me in Australia at a reasonable cost as well.

Front runs SpeedDirect Semi Coilovers.

I run it fairly low and have no rubbing issues.

FYI in 18" I tired for almost a year to get the Coys in 18 x 8. They did have 17" though.

Maybe they finally got them in.

I went with AR Custom two piece with the correct offset for $356 each. So $324 more then the Coys.

Coys are a good choice but you have to wait forever if they don't have them in stock.
