Looking Awesome Pieter!!! :thumbup:


@Tjaart: As far as I am aware the 4500GRX should be able to take 15" rims. The problem comes only with the 4.8, which has larger front brake calipers (too large for a 15" rim to clear).

The best bet is to go past TWT or one of the other rim retailers and pull a front and rear wheel off, and see if they have a 15" that will fit.

On my 1998 4.2TD, a 15x8" rim with a -0.25PCD works very well in combination with 33x12.5x15MT`s. The steel rims that I bought are commonly used by the Hilux and Cruiser crowd as well. I paid about R450 per rim.

Good luck!

Ag nee man G-Man.

Ek het nou klaar die bande gekoop. :doh: Damnit. Het jy dalk 15" rims? :pray: . Ek soek juis die 15" bande, want dis baie goedkoper as die 16"s!! Ek is baie erg opsoek na 15" Pro-Sport rims. Weet iemand waar ek kan kry in Gauteng? :helpsign: . Laat weet my asb!!

G-Man. EK het R1500 betaal vir die 33" Dueler M/T per band. :thumbup:

Hello Ross

Got a moerse good deal. The chap I got it from bought it, but couldn't use it. :think: . That also helped my decision to change to 15" tires. They are cheaper than 16", freely available and looks better on nice rims. I am just battling in this back-water hell hole aka[k] Polokwane to get rims. :fire: . What size are your tires?
