I doubt Weller have much demand for them anymore thats why they won't list them (supply and demand...). OZ Racing in Italy will machine you a set of wheels with the correct offset and PCD but that'll blow your entire budget!

If you're on a tight budget you'd probably be better spending all you can afford on getting a good solid car and think about extras like fancy wheels later.

Yes, it is sometimes possible to mill out the wheel centre to fit the hub.

Indeed, those are 8-spoke Weller steelies. They are still available:

I was thinking more towards g23 engineering machining the pcd on a set of wheels as theyre quite cheap and im possibly gonna have more money to spend on it once ive got it, im planning on keeping it for around 2-3 years so i can build my no claims up! the insurance drops weekly which im amazed by aswell! i checked the insurance about 3 weeks ago and it was 494 and now its 480!
