Alloy wheel swap
Im looking for a nice set of 17 inch alloys for my 2007 c70. If anyone wants to swap I have the 18inch mirzam alloys. Am happy to come and swap them.
Cheers Phill |

Why do you want to swap to 18 inch? I want some Mirzam so I am interested as to why you would change them? My wheels are 17 inch 5 Spoke, sorry I do not know the name off the top of my head.

Not after a swap per say, but I have a set of 17 inch spider alloys going cheap. 2 nearly new tyres and 2 that need replacing, 2 wheels in sound nick, 2 that need a refurb due to kerb damage on the diamond finish. My Dad goes to Faversham to visit family a few times a year so if you can wait a little while you can pick them up from there. PM For a price if you’re interested

I find the 18s a bit harsh on the roads where i live thats the only reason really! But the ones I swap with would have to be in pretty good condition as the 18s are prob worth quite a bit more

Phil, be careful when swapping that the 17" wheels you get have only come from a another C70. You want width of 7.5J and offset of 45 (ET45). This will be stamped on the back of the wheel.
Of the C30/S40/V50/C70 range, only the C70 has 7.5J wheels at 16" and 17" sizes. On the other cars they're narrower, and have a higher offset of 52.5 at all sizes including 18"x8J. While they'd fit the bolt pattern on your car, they'd sit further inboard in the wheel arches. Even the same-looking styles are actually different sizes: Slackey's five-spoke wheels are called Serapis on the other cars and are 7J wide, whereas they are officially called Serapis C on the C70 and are 7.5J wide. It's similar with Sadira on the C70 which corresponds to (I think) Sagitta on the other models. I share your pain with the 18" on rough roads, I kept the Syrma's off my previous C70 and traded it in with some secondhand Sadiras on. The current car is now wearing them instead of its 18" Morpheus.

Thanks Prog,
Thats useful information!! I was starting to wonder whether they would all be compatible as I heard something about the c70 being a different width track or something.. So the only option I have is to swap with another c70 owner, does it make a difference being an auto as i think they have bigger front discs? Cheers Phill |

Still looking mate but would need to be c70 wheels for others off a c70 as they use a different width.

So Phil, did you get in touch wiith Slackey? Sounds like he's got what you want & vice versa. His car is a C70 so his 17" wheels will be the correct width for yours. I realise I didn't exactly word that clearly in my first post on this thread, hence this post.
