Full set of five. Straight, four have been repainted but are a bit flaky and would benefit from being done again. Very light wheels

I thought all 131's in Europe had 13" standard, whilst 132's all had 14" standard. In USA they had 14". I could be wrong though. :)

UK market had standard 14 inch steelies on the Sport. Irish market had 13 inch alloys as standard.  :)

Strange. Isn't it? Just to sell the same cars with different wheels? Here in Holland there were never 14" wheels for 131's. Lot's of Aluminum wheels were for sale, but always 13".

Im a fan of the 131 original steel wheels i just think the look great.
I agree though i think this is a very fair price for the 5 wheels and they do look good on the Sport.
Some day light robbers on ebay subitio  and other sites would be asking ?100 per flipping wheel

All this conversation about sizes made me wonder with what dimension tyres the speedo is showing correct speed... Any ideas?

Usually the profile changes eg 165/70R13 upgraded too 185/60R14 for example and the rolling radius stays the same, therefore keeping the speedo (relatively) accurate.

In OZ the early model 131's had 13", later 14". I put 15" on mine and used the converter from this site to work out tyre sizes to keep the speedo close to the factory inaccuracies.

Yes but original tyre size was 165/70/13 or 155/70/13?

70% of 10mm is 7mm so I guess the difference is small and has little effect on the speedo accuracy.

From 155/70/13 to 165/70/13 the difference is 2.5%... So I guess... it's minimal...
By the way congratulations on your sale
