Hello Hello!

Where in WA (or else where if delivery is cheap enough) can I get some cheap steelies for a 1997 2.0 SWB Vit? Hunted Gumtree and Ebay for some GV rims (as advised by Atari) to fit but cant find anything. Where should i be looking and how much should i be looking to pay for ones that will fit? I do like the look of the sunrasia and desert rat type wheels but price could change my mind!

Current wheels are 16" alloys and wanted to keep road tyres on these for daily driving.

Thanks guys.

What size/offset are you after and what do you call cheap?

If you trawl gumtree youl find a set for $100. I got 15x7s new from tyrepower for $62 each.

16s are rare, I think King still make them though. The rims I got were white 15x7 sunnies with a -6 offset.

GV rims could be very cheap from a wrecker.

how are the adapter thingys? the things like wheel spacers but that change the stud pattern...could open up a wider range of wheels...

also i may be missing something here but...if 16's are rare what do the bigger fourbys do? surely they must run 16's or do they go for 17's?

GQ patrols still run 15" wheels.
GU's need 16's.

There are plenty of 16" rims available but they are nearly all 6 stud and won't fit a Zook.
