17" Simmons 87 Mondial 3.2 (Simmons are made in Australia) Be aware that Mondial's are prone to wearing rear wheel bearings and certain choices of wheel/tyre combos will accelrate the wear. I have replaced both of mine in the last 10000 klm!   | ||

Hi Bubba, Here are some pics of my "oz racing" wheels similiar to Speedline. They are 16" not sure of the width, have 225/50 front an 245/45 rear Yokos AVS. Came with the car so not sure where you would get them.   | ||

Thanks Edward. Can't quite remember, the car is in the shop being serviced. I don't know if I could get Speedline wheels here in Hong Kong. Besides Speedline, what other brands carry wheels suitable for Mondials? | ||

Bubba, You obviously have the 390 mm TRX's? 1989 328 wheels, later model with the ABS breaks, will make your car look like it should, a later model 1986 Mondial. Front 16" X 7" about a 45mm offset. Rears 16" X 8" about a 55mm offest. I just got a set from Gentry. off of ebay. Expensive! But I like the look and the ride of 16" tires. 17" rims from speedline are also nice, if you really want high performance with a small sacrifice in ride. 18" rims from a 360 (ebay) will also work without any spacers. You can get the rims and the tires, as a package, off of ebay. Good luck, email me if you need more information. | ||

The original tires on my 86 Mondial QV need to be replaced, but I think there is some problem with finding replacements here in Hong Kong. So, I am thinking about changing the wheels so I can use the more popular sizes available. Do you guys have any recommendation for good-looking wheels suitable for my car? Are there web sites that I can visit to see what is available? Thanks! |
