I am looking for 5 16" steel rims like the picture below. Condition of coating not important as I will be sandblasting and powder coating. Hub hole diameter must be 110 mm.

Afraid Ian's are gone.

It would seem that if you remove the spigot ring from some of the A Line mags they fit perfectly but I still need to physically check.

Just check properly the last mm on the hub has a round curve and that is what's makes the problem .....also there was someone wanting to sell a set with or without tires a while back but I am on my mobile can't find it

HI JACK Hi Jack haijdjekk --

Thabbies nodig ook n stel 16 duim rimme vir die kortgat Trol .. so as daar meer as een stel opduik -- praat saam Thabiies ook asb ??

Jy KAN mags laat masjineer om te pas oor die Patrol rims .. maar dit kos n klompi rande - ek moes dit met die Toyot 17" duim rims doen om op die Patrol [Thor] te pas .. [was goedkoper as n stel bande .. at the time]

This is why I would prefer to get the Patrol steel rims and powder coat them but if I can't find 5 I will have to go the aftermarket route.

My plan is to take a rim and bolt it on in the front. If I can then get a piece of paper between the rim and the back I know it will need machining.

I have already pm'd everyone that was selling in the last year.

So I broke down and bought a set of 6 after market mag's that fit the Patrol perfectly and will post pics over the weekend of what to look for and the sizes of the machining.

I really wanted original Nissan but the steel where R 6 k each and mags R 9 k each.

My spare steel rim as well as the old mags and BF Muds will be up for sale in the next couple of days.

There are aftermarket rims available that fit perfectly. These are from A Line and on the photo below the inner hub diameter is 108 mm. Then changes to 110 mm and is then angled to 117 mm. These are the same diameters that I picked up off one of the Aussie websites that work.
