Alloys Discussion

[Niall]

I doubt it.

One we are talking about peugeot here.

The 306 came with a mix of 14 and 15 alloys and steel wheels.

All would have been cheap to make and with no real care for weight hence why some are much heavier than others.

If their were working to some kind of scheme why then did the wheel size go up as the years went on?

What do you mean 'were talking about peugeot here'? despite the fact that they are not the best built cars on the road, they still would of invested millions into R&D mark. There not just a back street garage who decided to start making cars in a shed.

Also yes your correct they did do 14s and 15s. Have you noticed the 15s were only on the higher spec/higher powered cars? And despite the fact that they are all pretty heavy wheels, you take a wheel off of a similar price and age car and i bet it will be similar and also, i know everyone says Peugeot could of done this and that to make the 306 handle better. Yes they could but it had to be a mix of handling and easy drivability.
