Default Prodrive PFF7

Made a right novice mistake and bought a set of Genuine Prodrive PFF7's for my blob only to find that they don't fit as the wheels are 114 so only fit later blobs and hawks! Is it possible to change the hubs on my blob to a 114 fitment if I source some from a breakers or should I just sell on?

I think there is more to it than that.

You would be better selling em and getting a 114 set, might be cheaper as there are less cars they fit.

Is try to sell on for what you paid, might be lucky and make some money
Then just look for some wheels that fit.

Yea thought it might be more work then just changing the hubs, ah well il try and find a late blob or hawk owner that's interested in buying them or find someone who might want to do a swap, gutted because even though they could do with a quick refurb there nice looking wheels!

Just to confirm mate my blob isn't 114 so the alloys ARE the 114 fitment, just had a conversation with my mechanic and agrees that I would need pretty much different axles so that idea is firmly out the window

The 4x100 ones are near impossible to get hold of so if you really want them you may need to consider the hub change.
