Redcap Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I think those are 390mm rims. You can actually get tires, but you have to order them. And no, you can't just grind them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Oh. Mistakes happen. Best to just scrap them, and begin the search for some 15x6 non metric (there are stampings on the outer ring to identify) so you don't get same thing again. Even the Peugeot crowd on their forum do not want these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yes, scrap them now while scrap prices are high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Tires can be had from a Michelin dealer on special order. Price is high enough that it's worth it to get other rims and tires instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Peugeot rims.This is an ad for the correct (Non 390) rims. Portland is not too far away. I could bring them back for you next time I'm in Portland on business.http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/pts/2700864093.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
