not really anything you can do im affraid mate, just sell them and make sure you get the right ones next time. dont worry loads of people make the same mistake
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

peugeot 206's are 4x108 so even with wobble bolts they woldnt fit unfortunatly so you will have to sell them on like matty says and get s some vauxhall wheels, will look better anyways :)

If you take them to a local engineer they will be able to drill a second set of bolt holes so they fit on your car :)

that would depend how different the holes are apart, if they were closerthan about 10mm they probly wudnt.

think of multi fit wheels, they manage to get 4x100 and 4x108 pattern on one wheel no probs.

yh it cud be possible, but you could do all that and then the offset will be wrong, think its et25 for a 206.

i personaly dont like multifit wheels there never looks like enough meat between the holes to handle any abuse :lol:

The wheels on my old astra gsi had this done to them and they were fine, but depends on the offset, normally 206 are et25 so you'd need spacers to bring the wheel further out in the arch. May work out cheaper the sell them and get new wheels!
