For more, try the Pelican Parts forums. Post a wanted ad - you will probably get all 3 in a couple of days.
BTW, what is the offset on that? I asked the seller but he didn't respond.
No kidding? Sorry man.
This is 16X5.5"
ET30. Yeah, whenever the cashflow resumes, I'll try to get another three.
It may be awhile... Ah, yes the Pelican Parts forums! I am signed up. That's where I got some of my old set of the 15 X 5.5" alloy spares that I had (silver-the style with the round holes). Yep, this "Weltmeister" looking alloy spare comes in 15, 16, and 17" at least. I know there are even bigger alloys spares, but I don't know what they look like. The advantage of these is that they are big and narrow. Where else can you get an alloy wheel that is 16 X 5.5"? I've thought about the 17 X 5.5's, but I'm not sure what tire could work on there. I think a 195/40 17 might still be too wide, plus they're hard to get in the states. To get something narrow enough, you'd have to go to bias ply...
As far as the durability of these lightweight spares, I'm not sure, only time will tell. Maybe they'll bend like they're made of bubble gum?
Bowman- are those the steel wheels that have 4 radiating "spokes" that start at the center? Those do look good on these cars!
Oh, since I have a machine shop about 30ft. from my house, I was going to ask those good ol' boys to do it, but I'm not sure they'll understand what I am trying to do... I may have to go with one of those big-name places that tuna suggested...
