  • New to the Festy world, New wheels!

    So picked up a 98 carby and liked it right from the start. What I didnt like was the dinky 12" wheels shod with winter rubber~!! Squirrely to say the least. Looked around and scored a set of 13"s that have both 4x100 and 4x114.5 bolt pattern. But they dont have any ID markings that I recognize. Id like to find some caps.
    Can anyone hep ID these? Who sells them (if they are still current)

    Thanks all

      Welcome to the Forum!

      Location sez USA but "98 carby" implies Oz, to me. Where are you actually?

        Those are Via wheels from China. I could tell from the VIA logo.

            You will probably never find the OEM from Shanghai. You take your chances with them. I doubt they were individualy X-rayed.

                So I found out that these are ADR wheels. Model -33 apparently. ADR (or Golden Apple Corp) no longer makes them So Im now on the hunt for NOS left on a dealer shelf or used caps/wheels

                  Good luck! I used some 14"s off a mid 90s Elantra on my first Festiva. The center caps were gone and Hyundai was no help at all. Neither was ebay,Google, Amazon etc.

                    Apparently they were sold by Les Schwabe a tire outlet here in the western US states. I contacted them an they indicated there is 50/50 shot that there may be a wheels or caps floating around one of their stores dead inventory.
                    X'ing my fingers.

                        good luck with the 13's the tire price is about 1/2 as much for the 13's as it is for 12's in our area and most places have them on the shelf the last set of 12's i had to order because no one stocked them you can also find honda steel rims often to fit and a fair amount of hub cap's to fit

                            Later model Metro steel 13"s work pretty good. And in my area ( middle GA) they can be had at any auto salvage for $25.00 to $35.00 each. If you go to Car-Part.com and click on the Used Auto Parts Market you can localize it by zip code and find out who has your parts, how far they are from you, condition and price. It saves a lot of time on the phone.
