I'm not sure why everyone feels they must have bigger
wheels... and usually more unsprung weight..... anyone would
think this was the Honda digest ;-)

But if you must, you might want to consider a set of the 15"
alloys that were fitted to the 164 - the 164 twinspark
wheels were 4x98mm hub pattern. I've seen them fitted to a
sud and they look quite good. Of course they aren't really
"aftermarket" if that's important to you.

I think I have a set of Lancia Thema 15x6" wheels hanging
around.... also 4x98mm hub, but I'm sure you must be able to
find some in aussie, where you won't need to pay the freight
costs.
