Chasing a set of XL7 alloys (preferably the later twin spoke style from the goofy front).

This style:


May also be interested in the earlier 6 spoke style or possibly normal GV (SQ series) ones also.


If you happen to have a set you want to get rid of or have seen a set for sale somewhere (other than gumtree/ebay which I'm all over already) would be super appreciated if you could let me know.

cheers,
Kris

I amazingly picked up a set of the twin-spoke alloys in the last month or so for just over $120...3 of the 4 also had good road tyre on them as well. STOKED AS! Sorry to rub it in, but just more-so that they are out there....

[ninjamoses]

You could always sell them to me and make a few hundred profit?

Nice pickup mate, gotta be happy with that.

Why Xl7 ones? They are only 6.5in wide so would make the 245s be pretty tight and couldn't run 265 at low pressure, or is it just for looks?

[atari4x4]

Pretty sure all gv/xl-7 rims are 7's

[Sco-tie]

Nope i got some here that are 6.5 off an XL7

[atari4x4]

Really, aluminum or steel?

Means that the rim thread is wrong.

[Sco-tie]

steel

[Sco-tie]

There are some alloy 6.5in ones at the holden hill wreckers as well but didn't bother looking further after they wanted $120 ea!

[atari4x4]

Not XL-7 then, don't think I've ever seen one with steel wheels. They'd be off a SV Vitara if they're 6.5"... Let me guess they don't fit on the front of your GV?

[Sco-tie]

Nope definitely off an 03 XL7
Turns out they don't fit fine on mine,

pre 06 had 6.5in rims
but there are plenty of pre 06 with 7in alloys...
so im not sure how everything ties in
i.e http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/16-X-6-5IN-2 ... 1284445009

[atari4x4]

can you grab a pic, are they just the regular GV steel rims?

that ebay link is for a NGV

[Sco-tie]

[atari4x4]

and your 100% sure they bolt up?

they look like NGV rims to me, tiny centre bore & the PCD looks way too tight for a 5/139.7 PCD & a 110mm CB

put a ruler on the centre bore the next time you're out there... i bet it's around 70.5mm

[Sco-tie]

lol it's only around 60mm so guess it won't fit the front, only got them for the trailer so all good on that.

[atari4x4]

so the below statement was BS.

fuck i love it when people pass off BS as tech, makes it awesome for the next guy to come along and take what you said as hearsay.

[Sco-tie]

I pulled them off an xl7 03 so not sure how they worked on that... figured they would be the same guess not. Yet more crap info laying around and i added to it shame on me haha

[atari4x4]

really, so you physically undid the wheel nuts & removed them yourself?

i can't even see how that is possible when the PCD on an 03 XL-7 is 5/139.7 & those rims appear to be 5x114.3, let alone the 40mm difference in centre bore.

[Sco-tie]

I fixed my dribble above, yes i did pull off the wheel nuts and checked the placard hence i am confused as well.
Wreck was out the front of a mechanics up north that was all pink...female friendly or something like that

[atari4x4]

must have been one special XL-7, let me guess it was previously registered to a Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown?

should have grabbed this out of the back while you were at it.




i'm calling bullshit on this one, what your saying... it just doesn't add up.

[Chop]

They look like povo pack NGV to me!

[31zook]

Rav4



Its all im saying

[atari4x4]

NGV, as per the eBay link posted earlier.

It's all I'm saying

I bet your trailer has ford stud pattern wheels then. they are definitely NGV wheels. Steve125 has a set on his GV.

[jono165]

Also back on topic, theres a set of 5 of the 6 spoke style XL7 wheels on ebay
