Wheels

[badnews]

Ok I have been looking for a set of 15x10 rims for one of my old disco's. This has been a bit if a pain to say the least as I can't seem to find any thing any good looking at a reasonable price.

So I have found a place that will make me Mach 5 style wheels in the correct offset so I was wondering what they would be worth as it is a bit of a mission to sort out and they would be off road only. They would be manufactured out of this country and shipped here.

So is anyone else interested in some 15"x10" Mach 5 style wheels at very reasonable price. I have been looking at zu alloys and for what you get for the money seem a bit expensive out here in OZ.

I have travelled a fair bit for work over the last year and had experience of off shore manufacturing and all seems good.

Anyway any interest post on here and depending on how that go's I will place an order for fifty wheels. It's not a scam I buy all my Landy bits from the uk and bulk ship them and pass the discount on to a dedicated few friends and Landy lovers.

have no idea why anyone needs 15x10 wheels unless its a comp vehicle.

I would suggest that you check the Qld Transport regulations, particularly if you intend to drive it on the road :)

as stated they are for off road use they have a load rating so may be au compliant. As for the need for 10" rims they look bad ass. Do I need them no do I want some yes. I don't think I will be on my own. How many 4bys have you seen over the holidays running 10" rims. Do they need them I very much dout it but do they look killer you bet they do.

If they where legal, wonder what the cost would be on 16x8 -25mm as the Mach 5 style looks better than the normal sunnies. As you said the cost of that style over here is about double, whereas the sunrasia steel style is about $100up depending on supplier and quality. Around that price I would consider 5or 6.
Keep us informed. thanks

to be honest I haven't seen any over the holidays running 10" rims. If "bad ass" is your attitude I hope not to see you on the road.

I see several whenever I'm out on the road, usually heading south through dapto, albion park to places like yalwal, bendethra or towing vans to Sussex or any one of the numerous caravan parks . Often with roof racks full as well as a kayak or small tinnie on top of the trailer.
Personally I prefer a 16x8 but everyone is entitled to their own taste:twisted: and if I was doing a more focused(bad-arse) 4wd with a separate off road tyre set, I would think about 10's in 15-17 depending on $$$.
I'm just interested in the cost/look;) and if it would be easier for a bulk order to get a few different sizes
Maybe he should move this thread to group buy ?
Normal 16x8 in u.k are 55-60 over here 110+ http://www.paddockspares.com/6805165bkmo-16x8-black-modular.html

Ramblingboy I can assure you I am a totally honest and safe driver with 28 years driving experience with no points and a completely clean licence. I just find the wheels on offer here boring or over priced. As for paddock motors I could throw a stone at there building from my old house lol. I lived in tansley for many years and know the owner of paddock motors. I personally use DLS as I grew up with Paul Teague and has been to visit me in Australia.

Regardless of what you think of me or my bad ass statement lol I was only asking a question.

You say for off road use only. How are you going to get to the off road area, on a trailer? Or are you going to drive there on road?
Many tracks are infact gazetted roads and are therefore "on road".

Spend your money on a set of legal wheels and avoid the drama in the first place.
It can be very expensive to put a vehicle back to road legal once caught out with all the little goodies that make it technically unroadworthy.

Just my two cents:D
