Hi All
Hoping for some guidance please??
Am running a 1997 3.2 Sport. Lovely car, love it to bits!
It currently has some 18" Penta Alloys on it, all very nice but not original of course.
And there in hangs the question. Despite lots of reserach, I cannot ientify what the original wheels would have been.
Does anyone know? Would be grateful for any thoughts.
Thank you.
Regards
B.

Hi Bryan,

If you go to the Models Section of the website - do this by clicking "Menu" at the top right of the page and under "Areas" the column on the right of the drop down, the first option is "Models". There you will find a summary of the X300 along with a list of the wheel options that were / are applicable. You may even find appropriate wheels available for sale in the "Classifieds" - accessed again via the "Menu" tab at the top.

My understanding is that the Sport had the wider wheels fitted, the 8jx16 that took the 225x55 tyre. They came in Dimple and 20 spoke style. I have two of the Dimples , used, if you are interested. I bought them some time ago when I needed to replace a damaged wheel and could not get the narrower 7j at that time.Alec G
