Well as I'm in the market for a single spare, the cost if 5 rims, plus cost of swapping tires etc, far outweighs the cost of my original idea of simply buying the correct rim and a new tire.

I'm sure you should be able to find genuine one second hand cheap. I'd give you one of mine, but I'm QLD.
Ok there may have been a miscommunication.
I'm asking - is a wolf rim identical to a perentie rim...
My perentie has 7.5 tires, and no indication of rim width.
Is it worth 330 for a genuine or is the $190 wolf rim a viable alternative?

Put an ad up in the 'wanted' section I'm sure you'll be able to get an genuine second hand for less than $100.
Sounds like a good plan, will do.

Hold on mate, stock Perentie rims are 16x6 +33 offsetQuote:

I have wolf rims and carry a disco steely as a spare (16x7 +33), as I figured a short trip to get you out of the **** with a slightly different offset won't matter bugger all.
Also to clarify, Wolfs (ANR4583) look nothing like a ROH Perentie rim (AYG8108), so don't get fooled by anyone selling you the wrong thing ;)
argh! my bad, my brain for some reason remembered the stock rim as 16*6.5 not 16*6.
That's why I mentioned checking the offset. in a straight line it won't matter a d*mn. Cornering in the wet might be a little unsettling, especially over 60!
Still, i reckon he'll find someone willing to part with an old original for $100 or so.
worth checking remlr.com.au as well. occasionally some for sale there.
And of course - this is why I asked the experts first...

Should be able to get Wolf's cheaper than $190 each. I run them on my Perentie and my No5 trailer and am very happy with them. I also run them on a Series III Stage One. I picked them up for around $160 each from RoverCraft in WA. I know that they had to come from Sydney so I imagine you shouldn't be paying anything above $160 if you live on the East Coast.Quote:
