Dammit I want some 15" steel wheels!

Okay guys, There must be a few people in the wheel/tyre industry here. Surely somebody can convince one of the steel wheel manufacturers to make a 15" wheel with 4x140 offset. if they can do a 6x139.7 then there's little difference in doing 4x140 surely ...

I realise it would be a custom / one-off job and would be willing to pay (within reason) for that fact ... I really would prefer this option than drilling wheels or hubs.

Call the Wheel Factory (02 6228 1536) in Canberra, they can make something for you at a reasonable price if you can supply the bands - I used Suzuki Sierra wheels.

Nah nah the steel band or "rim" itself. Give them a call (they're open, I just called to make sure) and they'll tell you what they need. Awesome guys to deal with.

whats wrong with drilling the extra holes in 6 stud wheels to suit.I was talking to a guy at rally recently and his car had wheels with both 4 and 5 stud pattern totally legal in QLD.

I can get them but we need an order of 20 minimum. Cost would be about the same as the 14 inch wheels I had for sale. We can order White, Chrome, Chrome rim + gun metal centre, chrome rim + white centre, chrome rim + gold centre. The we have the option of Sunrasia pattern, 5 spoke pattern or 10 round hole pattern.

Get an order organised and we will do it. Only trouble is we have to orde 20 of the one pattern/colour combo. Not a lot really, only need 4 people wanting a set of 5.

Just tell me what you want and I will get them here.
