Mm, should find a buyer, and hopefully not lose a crazy amount on the deal.

4x108 is a piece of piss to find here.

how big and what centre bore?
13" and I think the centre bore is 56, can measure later.

Those Rover Honda (Rhonda?) Models are actually decent. But you should buy the Rover version just so you can say you own an R8.

I've finally found out from the doctor that the never ending pain is actually that I've got bursitis in my shoulder. I think I'd rather have a soldering iron jammed into the joint.

Not allowed to take ibuprofen cos I'm on another anti inflammatory for my plantar fasciitis, so panadol osteo only. Which sucks balls cos for my whole life paracetamol has done gently caress all on me in terms of pain relief

RX-7 or other pre-85'86 Mazda? I know that there are other cars that used 4x110, but Mazda was the most common.

edit: hilariously enough, it seems like there are a number of UTVs/ATVs that use 4x110, so one can find 12" x 7" wheels, for example, on eBay/Amazon.

Got a set of early RX7 rims, but of course they have a RWD-biased offset of about 25mm.

Is it windows 10? You don't need a key, it activates with your motherboard serial/personal banking info/magic instead. You only enter the key once.

I'm guessing that's a Daihatsu of some sort, since pretty much all I'm finding that has 4x110 other than Mazda is Daihatsu and some early Hondas.
Here's some neat actual Daihatsu alloys, in Slovenia, apparently:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Daihatsu-...DZZdaip&vxp=mtr

The offset's going to be difficult, since all the Mazdas that used that BC are RWD. If you were in the US, I'd suggest Diamond Racing wheels for fairly cheap steel wheels that can be had in 4x110 and a number of offsets.

edit: some of the UTV wheels would be hilarious on that little thing. Most of them look like typical "bro-truck" wheels, all black and machined aluminum, and fake beadlocks.

Yeah, it's my Avanzato.

Well, I want some cheap steelies, I already have the standard alloys that I've just refurbed, and will be getting fresh tyres on them:



But I just want some spare wheels.

Frustratingly, I can get 12" wheels relatively easily, as they're standard on the Hijets, but 13s are more limited. This set I got were from a Perodua Kenari, which as mentioned had been listed on reference sites as being 4x110 - and they're based on a Daihatsu Move, so it makes sense - but turned out not to be. I'll keep an eye out for some earlyu Move wheels, and see if those are 4x110 (they should be), but this is neither desperately needed for the car, and nor do I want to spend actual money sorting it.

I can always add "cheap wheels" to the list of poo poo to bring back from Japan when I go back next year.

If your system is UEFI and was a store-bought system with 8 or 8.1 already on it, it's stored in the UEFI. If that's the case, you won't even get prompted for a key.

It doesn't do that poo poo like Win10 where it recognizes it based on your system build, even when a DIY system, though.

Oh for God's sake.

Having ordered a full set of tyres for one car literally yesterday, I come out to find the Zoe with a totally flat tyre thanks to a a nice big screw right near the sidewall. So that's not fixable. I'm not that annoyed as it's one of the ones that's down to 3mm already, but still, I reckon I could've lasted to the end of my term with it. Ah well.

The standard dolphin friendly EV spec tyres are something silly like £250 a pair, so it can have some Toyos instead at almost half that. Surprisingly high (91) load rating needed.

At least I'll get another "free MOT if you buy tyres" voucher from National. That's three I'll have on hand.
