Well, the Figo uses 14 inches and I got the Veloche for my Figo only (picture is in my Figo thread).

I paid 15400 for 4 alloys.

just to give a further push, a brand called Veloche (have it in my Figo) is out with multi PCD 98-108 combination. Suits Punto - Vista - Figo!

Thanks dude for info. What is this multi PCD 98-108 combination! Same alloy PCD can be changedduring fitting!?

OT:
Any other cars other than Punto Linea have PCD numbers not equal to 100?

@sukrit well guess what i found the tweeter cover loose,pried it open and no tweeter there!

sukrit7 · 17th May 2010, 18:58

I'm sure it wasn't like this earlier.

The cars that we are talking have 4 holes with either 98 PCD or 108 PCD. The combination comes with 8 holes of which 4 will conform to 98 and the other 4 to 108. These can be fitted in any car with either of these PCDs.

Can't say so off hand. I have the boxes. I will revert after checking.

A quick check on Google says it is Chinese!

Hey buddy, the brochure says 4 speakers with 2 tweeters, total 6 !! I tried listening to the tweeter's sound by increasing the Treble and reducing the Bass, but couldn't hear any tweeting sound at all, so I too suspected the same that its missing in my car.

You got to remove the nuts for it. Even am planning to remove them in the first service. Why we take the trouble of jacking individual wheels.
The wheel cover discourage cleaning of the wheels and a lot of mud stuck on my wheel which is inaccessible.

Check it out coz I can easily hear tweeter sound when listening to music with treble 4 and bass 3.
