Thanks mate , and are you upsizing the tyres ? i am planning to upsize the tyres alone not going for alloys which upsize will suit for the RIM any ideas ?

iam planing to go for 15 inch alloys if and when i get hold of them.
On the stock RIM the best bet would be 195/70 R14 good year assurance or equivalent.

@ ms001 - I have two questions;
1. Is the stock tyres on Punto Emotion tubeless type?
2. Is the stock Blaupunkt stereo set with the speakers good enough for an average music lover?

Thanks.

Thanks.

1) stock tyres on all variants are tubeless
2) Mine is active variant does not come with built in stereo .But i would say the stereo on emotion is decent , unless you want good bass with clarity at high volume.

guys,
people looking for 98 PCD 15 inchers,pm me.One dealer has got some 4 designs in 20 different combos.with different lip colours.the finish is either black machine or chrome.the wheels are made at LENSO taiwan,but the branding is done by the dealer himself.One more thing one design is very close to Punto OE wheel.but i have got my wobbly bolts from UK

.So i am most probably getting MOMO Ten S 100 pcd rims in 15".no more confusions.its only 100 pcd for my car.bolts have costed me 2.6K.so no more thinking.

Not sure if this helps: What are corrective bolts (a.k.a wobbly bolts)?|The POTN.COM Blog

The MOMO wheels are costing me 25k.The wobbly bolts thing is really proven and safe unlike the machining done by indian tyre dealers.So in UK all Puntos run wobbly bolts.thats why i got those bolts...

got the cross links wheels central lock fitted at prerana motors lal bagh, it is approved by FIAT so warranty remains intact

NutsNBolts · 4th November 2009, 21:23

That's good news. Looks like Fiat is slowly coming out with accessories.

ms001 · 4th November 2009, 21:26

they have a single design of 98 PCD 14 inch alloys also at the showroom the brand is NEO 23K for a set of 5

Great pics! Enjoy the ride buddy

. She is a great car to drive, I need not reiterate that here.

PS - Does the Punto use Veglia Borletti Speedos or are they different?
