Need to get my vandalised GF rolling again was created by Mike Jerram
Some low-lifes broke into my rented lockup earlier this year and stole the OZs and tyres off my stored '89 Gran Finale, a set of pristine refurbished OZs with new tyres, battery, spare Targa top, fitted car cover, tools and much else. They left the car propped up on books. The local council from whom i rent the garage wants to fit a new and more secure door (stable door and horse spring to mind) and say they can't do it unless I move the car. Since the thieves left it wheel-less and propped up on piles of books that I also stored in the garage I am facing a dilemma. Anyone know if any other FIAT wheels would fit, just enough to roll it out and back again while the door's fitted? I have not yet decided what to do with the car, and may just sell it, but without wheels that too would be a problem. All advice gratefully received. Mike

Hi Mike, I mentioned this recently on the forum. The offset is a little funny on the x19 in relation to other fiat wheels, but any of the wheels in the x19 range will fit. Replacements are in high supply as they are the only parts that don't rot away! Sureley there is someone locally that can help?

Hi Michael,
I -- and the car -- are in Spalding, South Lincolnshire, 20 miles north of Peterborough. After exchanging messages with Rob I have decided to sell the GF 'as is' to anyone who has wheels for it and get it out of the lockup where it's been marooned these past five months!

Hi Mike,
I don't know whether you still need help, but I have a spare set of OZ alloys that you're welcome to borrow until you can get sorted. I'd probably be prepared to sell them for a small amount, but come back to me if you're still looking for help.
