I think the size for this car is 230/55zr390. The only new fitment I am aware of is the Dunlop SP2000. I am afraid the cost is around £137...

Go to the scrap yard and get four good steel wheels and put some standard tyres on it.

The website mentioned might offer a good selection of makes but they are more expensive than local tyre dealers in my area who will also fit them.

I had a Mk2 Granada Ghia X Estate with metric wheels at the time it was either Michelin £££££'s or Avons £££'s I ran Avons but towards the end saw the light and got a set of 14" alloys from a scrappy for £50 & swapped the lot, saved me a fortune!
Bimmer wheels in sensible sizes are reasonably cheap as it's a big market.

I thought that there may be wheels from another make that would fit? £135ish is a lot cheaper than he has been paying though.
thanks

There are other makes that fit but quite often require concentric alignment rings to be inserted to centre the alloy on the centre boss. Made sure these are agood fit or you will be back on here complaining of vibration at speed. Regards Peter
