I'm looking to import some 14" Avenger mags, have a look at the bottom 3 mags in the picture and tell me which ones you like?
None! Get something with rwd offset so they fill the guards a bit
Looking at a +25 offset to do that, standard rims are +40?
yeh standard steels are 38 or something. so you will only be getting an extra 15 or so mm which is stuff all.
2nd/middle catch my eye if that matters
why import?
Hard to find new 14" 4 x 108 mags here.

those guys also do a think 5 spoke similar to the one above in 14"
Couldn't see any 14" 4 x 108 PCD there?
Lots of 13" but with low profile tyres, they lower the gearing so you're revving your ring piece off on the motorway...!!
yeh 14s are hard to find in 4 x108. that last link I posted, that place does one in 14", its quite nice, ill try find it.
but seriously, the ones you listed are rather disgusting and would look completely out of place on an avenger
these are them http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/wheels-tyres/alloy-wheels/auction-395532841.htm
they also do these http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/wheels-tyres/alloy-wheels/auction-401363465.htm
both of which are 14" and would look sweet
Well you know those wheels they're selling for $180+ each only cost $50 in China, kind of makes importing attractive...lol
well then import something cool like those! not something like those abominations you posted up top haha
Yeah those ones would only look good on Triumphs....haha
ive got sum modgies that have avenger stud pattern that were illfully placed onto an rx3. unsure how that ouwld look against burgandy though
English must have changed since I was at school Kiera, what the hell does "illfully" mean?!
i think i made it up. somehow they were put onto an rx3 which is 110. suspicious
heres an idea, why dont you get some peugeot 14" steelies, wich are 4x108pcd, then send them to Elite wheels in christchurch. They can widen them to whatever size you want for $75+ gst per rim..... just a idea to fill the guards out.
Good idea, a bit hard to come by the wheels though...have to buy the whole car...lol
lol elite is a joke, dont go there. steel surgeon in auckland is really good. cheaper too.
ive got some 15s for the trump that I will be getting widened to 9" when I can afford it
How much does steel surgeon charge Andrew? Im keen to get some made up for my Avenger. Could also use 1998-2005 ford focus steel rims, as they are 4x108 PCD & they are 15"!!!
ive never used him/them but have heard $60 a wheel. much cheaper than elite, who will steal the best part of $400 from you, and take a good few months, and chances are at least one of your wheels will leak. and thats from personal experience.
Here's a handy website - gives you mag and steel wheel PCD, Offset (ET) and Bore size for all makes and models:

You have to be careful using other manufacturers wheels, even with the correct PCD and offset you can come unstuck!!
There's some 4 x 108 Porsche 924 mag wheels on TradeMe - cheap at $100 a set...
http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/wheels-tyres/alloy-wheels/auction-404753460.htm
But the Bore size is only 55mm, won't fit over the 64mm front hub on an Avenger...just put a couple on the back I guess...lol
wouldnt be a big job to take the centres out to fit hillman if there was enough meat on the rim to do it!!! but you would probably need the wheel to ascertain that.
just a suggestion but what about superlites? available in all sizes and offsets,i think they look really well on avengers i will post some pics of the maltese ones i saw with them fitted.
i believe they are available here to arent they no idea on prices though probably to expensive.
a good source is midland wheels in uk although again shipping would be too costly,wheels are really resonabley priced though well when paying in uk pounds.

sounds like i got a good deal with all the widening done for me :) muahahaha
I've got a set of silver JBL 5.5 x 14 minilites coming...will look good on the Alpine...matching the roof!!
ive got modgies for sale
