Guys ,
Im looking to change my scruffy kerbed alloys for some steel rims , does anyone know if I can just fit a set of standard 15 inch steel rims from any car of would the bolt holes be different ? ,
Any guidance greatly appreciated,
Thanks Billy.

Several reasons to fit wheels from another Jazz.
1) The bolt holes need to be 4x100mm spacing.
2)The centre bore hole (ie the big hole in the middle ) needs to be 56.1 mm so the wheel fits snugly and centres on the wheel hub. This also supports the weight of the car -not just the wheel bolts . Few other car makes have this size hole .(most are too large, a few are too small )
3)The ET (off set) needs to be the same or similar - put simply this is how far out the wheel rim and tyre protrudes when the wheel is bolted to the hub. This varies from car to car . (alloy wheels sometimes have a slightly different ET to a steel alternative but within Hondas tolerance)
4) Insurance companies may happier to accept genuine Honda alternatives, but regard other makes as a modification.
5) With the appropriate sized tyres there should be little or no change in car performance.
6) When wheels obviously come from a different carr MOT testers sometimes note it as an advisory . (in case the owner put on wheels with better tyres just to pass the MOT)
Another thing to watch out for. You may need to change wheel bolts . Honda use wheel bolts with domed seats. Certainly for Honda steel wheels, and I think also for genuine Honda alloys, but you would need to check. Most other brands use tapered nuts/bolts which are not interchangeable.

if the alloys are not too bad a wheel refurb could be the best solution
