So I may have just put a deposit down on this But it's running on 315mm metric wheels and tyres! I'd love some input on what other wheels I could fit that look good, and have standard fitment size tyres. Any help on the pcd centrebore and offset would be a bonus. Cheers guys.

Are these 4" or 100mm? I think 4" in which case anything off a BMC Mini and so on will fit right up. Cue the debate about "wobble bolts" and 101.6mm being close enough to 100mm. What you want on there is a set of 6x13 slot mags IMHO and YMMV

They are 4" PCD. 155/65x13 have the same rolling radius as the metric tyres.

Slot mags always look great on anything. I think a set of dunlop d1's would also look pretty cool!

I had Metro hubs on a trailer a while back and like yours, it had metric wheels. I swapped them out for a set of Minilights (standard ones that came on Minis)

That's an A-series Metro, which uses the same PCD as a Mini so non-metric wheels are easy
K-series Metros(and Rover 100s) are very different, so their wheels won't fit.

Revolutions look good on metros, both 5 and 4 spoke. Some silly wide 4 spokes would look great on that

The only correct answer for a Metro is...
RFX!

The problem isnt finding wheels that bolt on its finding wheels that go under the arches. You can fit 13inch with 175/50s or similar but they don't give you much clearance for lowering without putting arches on.
12s are the best bet for standard arches but you are very limited on tyres unfortunately.

Ronal R8s that the Metro Cup cars used? I am biased though.

Ooh, I quite like the look of that.
I did see a Mini with some 4 spoke Revolutions that looked good.
I have been browsing the John Brown Wheels website and there's some nice ones on there.
