I'm looking to change the original alloys on my 90 for a set of 16" (OEM) 80 series' and have a few questions;
1. Looking around, there seems to be 2 types of 16" 5 spoke alloys for the 80 - the only dfference *seems* to be the type of wheel nut. Is this correct?
2. If #1 is true, is one better than the other - pro and cons?
3. I'm assuming that the existing 90 alloy's tapered wheel nut will fit the "equivalent" 80 alloy and for the other type, I need to buy a new set of wheel nuts too?
4. Will the 90 alloys' plastic wheel hub covers/centres fit the 80 alloys or again, will I need to purchase those too?
Just wanted to get an idea of cost before I make a decision and set my mind on this change.....
It may be cheaper and less hassle to just get some extended wheel studs and stick with the 30mm spacers.....
