Looks like an "S" rim (Chromed) but the centre is all different ?

Came from one of the UK run posts in the gallery, but it really grabbed my eye..

I'm guessing 165/70/10 on a 5" ish rim ?

Cheers

They look like the new alloy rims from Minispeed in the UK. Ten inches with some weird offset to fit over 8" disks. I have only seen them in an off white colour though before.

Heres a link:

With the need for 3.5" wide flares, maybe the site's sales blurb should say fits NEXT TO 8.4 discs, not OVER them.. :lol:

I'm with you DOC. look at those wheel nuts, their practically flush with the inner dish. they just look spacered out. good idea for looks but you'd want to have good wheel bearings

And, it would steer like crap on bumps, the scrub radius would be a couple of inches... :shock: :lol:

Can you put hubcaps on those peckers? It looks like you can.

Imagine that, alloys where you need to fit hubcaps, that would be a first!
