Or 4x108 if you want cheap minilites. :wink:
Why's that?
Minilites in 4x100 are rare and far more expensive than in classic ford fitment (4x108)
Even classic mini fitment (4x101.1259451222145212541257845556240145) are usually more expensive than 4x108 versions.

thats what ive found whilst hunting a nice set in 4x100 anyway :lol:

Changing the bolt pattern with all the work can come more expensive than 3x108 minilites.
120 euros a piece for the minilites.

One cheap solution is to bread the steel wheels that I already have several rounds.

No cut them in half and weld back together wider than before.

Yes, that's known as "banding" to me. sm4

Live & learn. Banding was associated with latex and such before this...
