Kris79 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) I was in a wrecker today and I found 4 old Pugeot cars all with wheel rims. 8 alloys with centre caps and 4 steel ones. Let me know if you're interested. I'd buy them all if someone wants to purchase some for their Loyale, GL or older Subaru 4x4. Message me on here or e-mail me @ krishokanson777@hotmail.com. Cars are located on Vancouver Island Canada. I posted a pic from online that is an axact wheel are these cars have. The steel ones are straight but some rust. - Kris Edited February 27, 2016 by Kris79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris79 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 No interest in the wheels, they've all been crushed with the cars they were on. Too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firehawk618 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I can't believe they crushed them so quickly. Or were they already there forever and just finally got crushed?Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdkneppy Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Bummer, since the allow wheels would have been sweet on my Brat, but too late now. I just looked at 4 steel Pugeot wheels today for $20 each. Any ideas for center cap on the Pugeot wheels if/when I buy them? I am thinking of having them powder coated. Is that good or bad idea?

dfoyl Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 On the Peugeot steel wheels (jdkneppy), I assume these are the standard 14" steelies. The center cap cutout has two "ears" (like a rectangular box running through a circle). The OEM cap is designed to lock into place, and they are very difficult to find. When I was running them I looked for a long time and never found one, otherwise I would have copied them with a silicone mould. What I would suggest you could do is search on eBay for the same size hole and clip them (or hotglue them) in place. Check seller deluxe-choice, I bought item #231342360737 for a set of early WRX wheels and they worked well. You need to pay attention to the inner diameter size, late model Subaru are 59mm which might be too large. For powder-coating, I wouldn't recommend it. I found the wheels still rusted after about 4 years between the inner and outer parts of the wheel. And Australia is a lot more forgiving on rust than Oregon (no salt on the roads, no snow, etc). I would be having them painted with something strong, maybe like you use for the cabs of pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratman2 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 If the Peugeot steel wheels are the same as dfoyl described I found a sheet metal plug that fits them. It is made by Au-ve-co products, part#18804, 2 1/2" hole size, 3" head diameter. Since they are designed for sheet metal and the rims are a little thicker you will need to mix a small amount of JB Weld and smear around the lip with a tooth pick. They are a flat plastic black plug. Look good too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrsn Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I just bought a set of those 14" pug alloys from a friend. Now to just find some lug nuts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdkneppy Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) I bought the 4 Peugeot steel wheels I found last week for $80. The center hole is 64-65 mm with cut outs and the Subaru caps are only 60mm in diameter, so working on a fix for that. Will give Bratman2's idea a try. I need to sandblast then prime & paint the wheels and find 4 tires. Because of the funky mount Peugeot used will regular lug nuts work? I was planning to chamfer the holes with a large drill bit before I paint them. Good or bad idea? Will 195/75-14 fit on my 83 Brat or can I go larger? Thanks Edited March 21, 2016 by jdkneppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman2 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 You may need the Peugeot lug nuts. They have a "U" shaped washer made onto the base that fits the curved portion of the rim. I have the older 505 steel rims with the larger center cut out but my set required that lug nut. If it doesn't have the chamfered hole I don't think there is enough metal to bevel it and get a good seat on the lug nut. I seen some 505 steel rims that had the proper seat for a regular style lug nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfoyl Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 My set didn't need those lug nuts, but a lot of the US stock seems to require it. Can be found here: http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Auto-Part-Wheel-Nut-for-PEUGEOT_1485339121 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEECHBM69 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Will 195/75-14 fit on my 83 Brat or can I go larger? Thanks I had 195/75/14s on my EA81 hatch and they rubbed at full lock. I replaced them with 195/70/14s when the other set wore out (they didn't rub enough to warrant changing them beforehand,) and now I have zero contact.

jdkneppy Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Beechbm69, I bought 4 185/70R14s yesterday, so will be set as soon as I get my wheels cleaned up and painted. Glad I found the stock 185 width and avoid rubbing. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithofnico Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Beechbm69, thanks for your post! I've been hunting for an answer to this question all weekend. I recently acquired Peugeot 504 14" alloys and was worried about clearance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
