Hi all

After much too-ing anf froo-ing I've decided to refurbish a set of Rootes Rostyles I bought from a club member a couple of years ago rather than fit new Minilites to my Alpine Fastback. The wheels are being powder coated silver and I'll hand paint the black inserts. Two questions:

What wheel nuts will suit and where can I get them?

What tyre sizes would people recommend? Would 175s fit?

Best

When you paint the black sections on the wheels you can either use satin finish which I think was original or use coach enamel for a much glossier finish.

Tyres would originally have been 165/13 but you can fit 185/70/13 with only minimal change to overall rolling radius.

Wheel nuts I can't help with.
