hmmmm i'm confused now, after doing a search of pcd im not too sure what pcd i'm looking for!!! could some one help. i've got spacered drums on the back which is likely to be standard mini pcd which i thought was 100 pcd but i'm probably wrong and metro turbo discs on the front.
so again what wheels will fit?

the mini pcd is 4x4inch, which works out at 101.6mm. 100pcd wheels will go on, but they're unsafe as they put too much strain on the wheel studs because they are being bent. the last thing you want is the wheels falling off at 70mph.
If you want something different, speak to compomotive wheels, they can normally make a set of wheels with the right offset and pcd to fit but you pay the price.
Hillman imp wheels fit but you'll need wide spacers, which i wouldnt reccomend. to be honest your best off sticking to what you find at shows, but check out the autojumble areas as there are quite a lot of different and rare wheels to be had, then just send them off for repainting (go mad!) and virtually no one will have the same wheels as yours.
