They were on a brumby for sale here a while back.

Thanks

The wheel nuts look a bit to close together to be 4x140. I would say it has had a stud conversion done on it.

Yeh thats what i thought but just wanted to confirm.

They were going to be for my sportswagon hehe its hard to find wheels to fit the original fitment.

Cheers

to get the best choice of wheels legaly you will have to do the 5 stud hub/brake up grade, that will give you 5X100 mm stud pattern, you can drill your current hubs to 4X100 or 4X114.3 which are the most popular 4 stud hubs but it wont be legal, you can, if your lucky, find some pug 15" mags which look 100x better than the standard, but good luck finding any and getting the owner to part with them.

i found a set of pug mags but now way will the owner part with them, not even for 200 bucks a mag, dosnt matter now anyway, im doing said 5 stud convert

yeah, they are 4x114.3, not sure how he did the mod. i believe it is still for sale too as he was asking a ridiculous price. I struck it lucky and found some 15" pug rims. cost me my old 14"s and $200. Pretty good deal, but as Brumby Boy said, hard to find and ya still gotta convince them you need the wheels more than they do:) if you do chase up pug rims, make sure you dont end up with the 390mm metric rims... they are crap and tyres are big $$$ (if u can find any)

I have noticed these, which apparently can be drilled to any pattern.

not sure about strength or offset though. What is the offset that can be use don one of these unlifted beasts?

Nah Vidler - thats John's old Brumby, a car I'm quite familiar with. They are 4x100 wheels .

I found that with a wider rim (7.5") the standard L offset works well. My 15"s are off an RX Turbo WRC car AFAIK. The only picture I have seen elsewhere of them is from the Safari Rally.

I know someone who welded stock rodeo rim stud holes up and used two of the holes to drill 4 x 140 for stock brumby hubs. they passed inspection, but I didn't know you could do that.
