	Hey guys, This may seem a simple thing but to the un-initiated/un-educated its a little but more daunting, a little like when you first learn that 4 stud wheels don't actually fit all other 4 stud cars and that wheels have offsets. I have an OMP steering wheel and boss on my car but it's not to my taste, I'm simply wondering if there are other wheels which will fit that boss or will I need to get another? I'm ideally after a woodrimmed nardi or motolita, I can see already just from pictures that the central diameter of astrali wheels is completely different so definitly won't fit. All answers are muchly appreciated. Cheers.

	Depends on what boss you have fitted? I know mine will take two different pcds. If you're talking about your Toledo, I'd assume it's the same boss as the Dolly, unless its a lot earlier build. Iirc, Nardi are 6x74mm and OMP, Sparco, Momo etc. are 6x70mm. Mountney classics are different again.

	Thanks for quick reply. Its not the thread end I'm worried about its the 6x74, 6x70 as you mentioned. It's for my golf, as I already have the wheel and boss fitted I was just wondering what I could use if I were swapping out to a different wheel using the same boss.

	Momo, OMP and Sparco are 6x70. I just checked mine outside.

	If you take the wheel off (just undo the allen keys that join it to the boss) you'll probably find it has 2 sets of holes for the 2 different spacings. 90% of wheels will fit in that case, with the aforementioned Mountney (they were called Formuling here) wheels requiring an adaptor

	Mar 25, 2015 14:11:44 GMT @automatik said: The second set of holes might be homemade, judging by two numbers/letters on the left and a triangle something on the right that the holes are drilled through?! That maybe so, I checked the diameter and it is indeed 74mm across all holes, so whoever did it, if it is, did a good job.
