Tatarusbrute Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Hey, I was recently looking through my local Scrap yard and came across a full set of these Aluminum Rims with a 4x140 Bolt pattern that I have never seen. Has anyone ever seen or heard of them? they are made in England by a company called KN Engineering. Here is hopefully a picture of one. I am Gonna bead blast them today, and maybe get them Powder Coated. I also found a nice set of 185/80/r13 to go on these rims, they are an old tire size, and they have a pretty aggressive tread.

ABawm 88 GL Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 They might be peugeot rims, pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 They would not be Peugeot wheels. As they are stamped with "Fab France" This is the wheel company at hand, these wheels are 4x108mm but KN Engineering is indeed a wheel manufacture.

ABawm 88 GL Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Enkei makes Peugeot rims so I don't think it'd be that unusual if another company made rims for them. Plus Peugeot is a French company so the name "Fab France" makes me believe lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatarusbrute Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 They Could be just a Peugeot Aftermarket rim. I Actually am from Moscow Idaho... funny. SO No one person has ever seen these before on a Subaru? or Peugeot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 4X140 is a Very European Pattern. We have Old-School Renault cars with 4X140 Rims here, in my Country. I Used to own a pair that came off a Renault; they were "Cheviot" Brand, Made in France. Also, I've seen Rims like This ones... ...4X140 on Renaults here, in my Country. Also, the Ford Anglia, which is a British Ford with 4X140 Rims... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Anglia ...have you Seen Harry Potter 2? Also, Audi had 4X140 on certain Models... Kind Regards.

heartless Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 They Could be just a Peugeot Aftermarket rim. I Actually am from Moscow Idaho... funny. SO No one person has ever seen these before on a Subaru? or Peugeot. edit your location to include the ID for Idaho - no more confusion. those are some cool looking wheels - i would be more inclined to clean and polish, but you do what you like with them - definitely a neet find and unique for a Subie no matter what you do with them.

moosens Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Real live vintage Magnesium painted? Maybe blacken the the inner loop and slotted hole sidewalls , like they were originally. Like she said , they're yours to play with but to most of us you'd be doing an injustice. Have fun , they sure are rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatarusbrute Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Ya, I got aluminum Polish, and I have alot of work ahead of me. I am going to polish all the main-layer, and the sub layer I am painting Black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
