They're not all crook, just the odd one but you can't pick it without driving on them. Out of the 12 Desert rats I own, there are 3 that are off. Never had a problem with Marquies or Superlites. But if I was needing steel rims again I would buy Scorpians.

but they look different than the speedies i tried before? is it just because these are older?
they do stick out a bit, but i dont think quite as much, could be that the tyres are a lower profile than teh LT ones i had???
if its not native its not cool.....

I put nearly 300km on my new kings today. They feel great. Steering feels a bit different but not in a bad way. Probably has something to do with the offset changing the angle of the steering.

In response to what model peugeot, I can tell you that it is not anything 405 or onwards. possibly 505 or 504, I've never got to work on one of them.

Pug 505's have a tiny hole in the centre and can't be balanced as easily as the 504's which have a larger hole. Also 505 rim's I believe need special nuts.

I am running 504's on my Brumby. No offset issues...
