yeah,,, they`re very speedy :-)

they was a company in Nuw-Zuland (land of fush-&-Chups) making a similar rim & also made some wider ones , up to 7" i think

I am actually chasing "one" for a customer but do you think i have much chance finding "One"???

Where`s Jai when you need something from the land of the long white sheep-fart cloud ??? :-)

Hi Gareth,

Sadly they are in storage, but they look somthing like this (mamba nuts):

Image

They have a "tube" that goes through the wheel, and washers that "sit" in the wheels. If you find some, please let me know! mine are had-it and dont match, and i need to put them on a car 8)

I think the hole size in the wheel may be different.
Jellybeans have a similar nut & washer too, but there are no standards with these things..
