Aha, sorry Ken, I was thinking I should look for some GTi steel wheels so that I can use the trims. It makes sense, seeing that the Meteor is dressed up as a GTi in most other respects (interior, 4 spoke steering wheel, aerofoil wing etc.)
(and yes I know earlier GTi's came with the standard steering wheel)
Anyone got a spare set of GTi 185's?

Curious... the Michelin UK website, Merityre and my BX owners handbook suggest that all BX diesels including TD came with 165/70 tyres as standard...
Interesting to compare online fully fitted prices (inc VAT) for the Michelin E3As:
Black Circles
165/70R14 81T £61.10ea
185/60R14 82H £54.50ea
Merityre
165/70R14 81T £56.87ea
185/60R14 82H £59.56ea

Hi Mark
My TZD came with 165/70 R14 as standard, but I've changed them to 175/65 R14 as those were cheaper and easier to get here in Australia - and I think they probably handle a bit better. Not sure what the wheel size it - I think it's listed in the owners manual but haven't checked.
I have the same wheel trims as you got on eBay....if you want to sell them - I'm interested!! Interestingly, I have 3 vented wheels on the car and two non-vented - was like that when I bought it in '94. The trim on the non-vented wheel is hard to keep on as the center of the wheel seems to stick out further and prevent the trim from seating all the way - although I haven't lost it yet.
