    Does anyone know if there is a website of some sort which might allow me to check which other vehicles have alloy wheels which are a match for Copen Wheels?

    I'm thinking about a wheel swap but I'm not 100% convinced by the aftermarket wheels available for the Copen at the sort of money I can afford

    I quite like these, from the Sirion. I reckon a good set of these would look pretty good. But these are 14". The Sirion can come with 15" wheels, but I'm not sure they look anything like this.

    Has anyone found something else that might work?

    They came with 15's so why would you drop to 14's?
    Just be careful of the off set & how wide they are?
    They will be over tracked and then the coppers will be checking you out, meaning keep em inside or on the guard width.

    That's reminded me...

    How do I go about making sure the off-set is appropriate?

    I imagine I might need to pay attention to this if the width is any different to standard.

    I want to stay with 15s

    There are sites on the net that will give you an idea of size but I just went to a tyre place and just took one wheel off and
    put a tyre on the rims and checked it by fitting it.
    Solved the guessing & you can also see if its going to rub on the inside when in full lock which is another thing people forget?
    Then you have to muck around with spacers and the like!
    Basically I found the rims I liked. Then had different size tyres fitted to see if they had enough clearance and were not over tracked.
