Hi All,

You are both right but I still maintain they are Vitara wheels. I have seen them on Vitaras other than mine, usually top of range models. It is my understanding that they are the SUZUKI factory mags that were an option. With X 90s being as dear as they were back in the day, if you could afford one, why not option up with the factory mags? Likewise with the top of range model Vitara.

Yes we don't doubt they are in Australia, we don't doubt they're currently on a vitara and we don't doubt they are suzuki factory rims.

Our point is they're uncommon and most likely only fitted to X-90's. A quick google shows many X90's fitted with them in global markets.
I think that pattern was used on Vitaras but it had a machined face and dark shadowlines. It wasn't easy to quickly find a photo of them, here's the best one I could find quickly.



I think the base casting is the same as the rims you have, only the finishing is different.

Here one of the gazillions of photos of X90's with the rims you have



Now here's the catch, X90's came with space saver spares - a JDM Jimny wheel (16X4.5) and tiny tyre, so they don't come in sets of 5. This might explain why you don't have a set of 5 on your car, and why it prove difficult to find one floating around.

Oh, on looking at those photos again, no, the casting is different, and a a bit more digging has turned up this:

X90:
Tire Rim Bolt pattern THD CB
195/65R15 5.5Jx15 ET10 5x139.7 M12 x 1.25 108.1
205/60R16 6Jx16 ET0 5x139.7 M12 x 1.25 108.1


Those rims have different offset to Vitara rims, which are ET25. The clue was that suzuki fitted X90's with WT steel sierra wheels which are also ET10 AKA 10P

The additional offset helps to fill the wider guards of the X90

Suzuki never fitted that wheel to a vitara as they weren't approved for that offset.

Here specs for a vitara of the same period. This is all wheels across all markets, not just AU.


Tire Rim Bolt pattern THD CB
195SR15 5.5Jx15 ET25 5x139.7 M12 x 1.5 108.1
205/70R16 6Jx16 ET25 5x139.7 M12 x 1.5 108.1
215/65R16 6.5Jx16 ET18 5x139.7 M12 x 1.5 108.1

I think that confirms these are X90 rims. It's not going to make finding one much easier, but at least you know where to look now.

Thank you Steve for eloborate effort to point out the obvious!

When you say SUZUKI, are you including or excluding SUZUKI Dealers?

At no point did I ever say these wheels didn't come on a X 90!

Now I am starting to DOUBT that you looked at my last photo!

Here it is again just for you:

What's your point? Uou've posted a compliance plate, which isn't relevant either way. It doesn't matter what car you want to put them on, they're X90 wheels because they have X90 offset. If you're looking for more that will be where to find them. They were not a dealer optional wheel, which were typically supplied locally by ROH, Performance or similar, the same way dealer optional bar work was supplied by Hayman Reece. If you're implying a dealer supplied them on a Vitara new, sure, I guess that's possible, they would have been extremely expensive as they would have come as SGP through the parts department.

If you're pointing out cryptically that your vitara is complied as a "vitara X90", that's nothing new - I have a sierra here behind my shed that was complied as a carry van. Suzuki used whatever plates they had lying around - it has no bearing on what the correct offset is, Nor does it make those rims vitara rims.

OK Steve, I understand you are not getting it so I have changed the title just for you!

So if anyone has a "Wheelbarrow" wheel or wheels, please post up photo and offset and I will see if they are a match?

Thanks in advance

[Gwagensteve]

Title still says Vitara?

[Boggomobile]

All good with me, Vitara it is then!
