Hi people..
I've just bought my girlfriend a 205 GLD and I've got a set of GTI wheels for it.
will i need different wheel bolts? and will the wheels just fit fine?
thanks a lot!

Use the wheel bolts from the alloy wheels and put some copperlip on them. If they are 1.6 alloys they will go straight on, if they are from a 1.9 the fronts will fit fine but GTi's have modified rear wheel arches and 1.9 speedlines do not fit on non GTi cars.

Thanks for that, the wheels look like this:  I think they are the 1.6 ones , right? D |

yup those are 1.6 alloys. They'll slap straight on no mods. Easy job. They look nice in white too - different!

I did the same on my 205D. Be careful about clearance under load on the rear wheels, mine fouled on the inner wings when under load.
Anyone want a set of 1.6 pepperpot alloys?
