Rims (and tires) wanted
Posted: 27 Jul 2016 06:10
After having promised never to tow a trailer on holiday again, I am now building my own camping trailer...
But I have a small conundrum. The hubs I am using are from the current-generation VW polo (5 holes M14 x 1.5 on a 100mm pcd).
The original intention was to use the same rims and tires as on my Patrol (A-Line Grip 15" x 8" with 32x11.5 x15s). But the M14 x 1.5 capscrews I would need to bolt the adapter plate to the hub will set me back R900 for a set of ten, which seems a bit mad.
So I am investigating options. The question is whether I can find three Polo rims of abovementioned size (or maybe 15 x 7) for less than two Patrol rims and the cost of the adapter plates...
Anybody perhaps have some lying around?
