some places want 8 rims. so they can cut the centres out roughly and the same with the rim and make 4 good rims..

i spoke to a few machine places.. but i am in southern syd wollongong way..

varies in price too.. i ended up scoring a set off ebay.. was about the same price and i didnt have to wait!!!

procomp do the same offset as flipped rims (2" more than standard F100)
around $100-150 a rim.
separate note : Summerfeild charged $50 a rim last count but i think he has retired and works from home now

Would you not be better to get the pro comp rims like MrRocky is talking about? 15x7 -38 for around $140 seems pretty good.

Thanks ajsr. I want to run 235/75/15s on a SWB vit (I already own them) so am just trying to work out what works off the shelf (thinking steel rims).

you'll run into all sorts of issues with a large offset like flipped rims on a Vitara, the standard wheels are +25 on a 5.5" rim.

I think stock sierra rims is what you need, they will be about right offset.
But are only 5.5" .
I ran 235's on mine for ages

I bought a set of used flipped rims from sam MANY years ago off his AZTEC buggy. They were a little ding'd up, but otherwise fine.
