So Meep the Jeep has an unusual bolt pattern - at least here in the states. While most wheels come in 5x114 or 5x100, I’m faced with 5x110. The only cars around that share a bolt pattern are the Dart, 500x, and um... Ferraris. Wheel choices are limited. Not that I’m looking at wheels any time soon but Since it’s a 2wd Manual turbo I almost want to turn it into a little Italian rally wagon. Think “a couple of subtle Martini-colored stripes along the tops of the fenders”

And some wheels that look like the ones on the 037:

Lowered a little with this kind of treatment:

I'm sure I could get my wife to go along with that stripe treatment...

Yes. Ferrari wheels is the right solution.

It will be the pièce de résistance! Imagine it!

“It has...... such and such, such and such such and such, and....Ferrari wheels.”

I like the BU. It reminds me a lot of my Niva, about the same size/shape, similar round-eyed jutting jaw kinda face, and when you peel back the cover there’s a suspicious amount of Fiat inside. I don’t think I could do the fwd, and it’s a shame the Trailhawk doesn’t come with the manual.

The stripe makes it look a little like a Police car or something though...

Still more options than the Porsche 944. The 944 uses 5x130. Which means you’re options are, well, other Porsches, or the LaFerrari...

You can thank the Fiat portion of FCA for that.

its actually a common Fiat/Alfa romeo bolt pattern.

and it’s a pain in the ass to find aftermarket wheels, even in Europe.

I’d say you still have some really good choices if phone dials or 944 cup wheels aren't your thing.

Saabs and Cobalts have that same pattern, along with a bunch of Euro GM cars.

I forgot about those - as is common about the Cobalt, and among non-Saabists.

Actually that looks really cool. I’m getting ideas....

Kudos on the correct usage of the accent aigu and accent gràve.

I have black turbo phone dials on mine. I like them, but aftermarket you’re pretty limited without spending your life savings. Aero and Basset actually make nice steel stock car wheels in 5x130.
