  • Wheel help

    Today I was looking at one of my several piles of junk and I spotted four 13 inch wheels. I grabbed one and took it down to the shed. I grabbed a spare festiva steering knuckle off the shelf and tried the wheel on it just for fun. ( Im easily entertained ) IT FIT ! I immeadiately run after the other three. Unfortunately they turned out to be different ( 13 inch honda wheels ). My question is what did this one 13 inch wheel that fits on a stock festiva come off of ? I cant remember where it came from. I did own a Toyota corolla about 20 years ago. Its the only car I can think of that this wheel might have come off of. I sure would like to get some more once I figure out what it came off of. 13 inch tires are about half the price of 12 inch tires now. And I know a tire dealer who wants to sell me his whole inventory of 13s at his price. Any suggestions about what this wheel might be ?

    bolt pattern reference source

    I have no idea what car those wheels came from, sorry. But, there are plenty of cars that used the Festi bolt pattern with a 13 inch rim. I have got great value out of trolling this website for wheel size matches.

    Just look up each brand and try to find the ones with the 114.3 x 4 pattern.
    My memory is fading but I know there were a few Nissans and many Mazdas. The centres don't always quite fit though. So you may need to measure the centres in advance, before you search the junkyard. Or just drag them over to a festi in the yard, of course.
