K11 wheels

[bluto]

Hello everybody peeps. I have just inherited a K11 from my son who has moved onto something a bit more exciting. My wife is planning on using the car for winter, and to that extent I want to put a pair of winter tyres on the front, and thought it would be easier to do this if I bought a couple of wheels. However, I am slightly confused by the sizes that seem to be available and wondered what would actually fit. The car is a 2000 1.0 Celebration, and the wheels/ tyres are 165-60-14. Also if anybody has some to sell, I could be interested.
Thanks.

Standard Micra wheels are a bit lightweight if you have potholes and they can distort. So check if you buy stanfard wheels. VW wheels are stronger/heavier won't fit without opening up the centre hole.

I have some, possibly, but I can't remembet were distorted. I am near Kendal.

Living in bristol (pothole capital of the south west) and having crashed into a curb on steel wheels, I can tell you you would need to hit a pretty big pothole pretty fast to distort them...

Now I find that really hard to believe

I run these on all 4 wheels in winter http://www.oponeo.co.uk/tyre-details/michelin-alpin-a3-155-65-r14-75-t

plenty of cheaper ones though http://www.oponeo.co.uk/tyre-finder/car-winter-tyres-155-65-r14

and these days it is considered dangerous to mix summer and winter tyres, although I used to do so years ago,

I have noticed that somebody on her is selling some 155/70/13 wheels and tyres - if I bought all 4 would they fit my car?
