Ed, I think higher positive offset mean the hub is sitting further from the centre of the wheel.
If you wanna look for Alfa/Fiat rims, go to http://www.italiaauto.com, razmyn is the big brother there!!!! :p
Yes, Alfa 147, 156 and 164 also share the same PCD and centrebore (5/98, 58) but their offset is slightly higher (+35).
Other Citroen models like ZX and Xsara uses 4/108, not sure about the newer batch lke C3 and C5.
I suppose the Evasion share the same PCD as Alfa’s because it’s a common platform between Fiat, Peugeot and Citroen. Most Fiat rims and also same as Alfa.
Besides Sean Khoo, the other instructors will be some guy name Fauzian and a certain Mr Miko Nassi………

I think Solberg put the cow there and Loeb is still in the lead. Maybe Solberg should try something bigger and harder, like a meteorite!!! :p hehehe
At the way Leob is going, I am very curious on his plan for next year coz he is 80% towards defending his WRC crown this year.
Standard brakes, standard ECU, standard gearbox, standard tyres – is F1 in danger of being an upgraded version of F3/F3000 with different engines & chassis?
Must start finding sponsor! RM500 per round can help reduce the costs for K3 runners by around RM15 per person. Who is willing to sell backside? Azlan lah, since his backside is so famous already :p
