    Allied wheels does the mamba rim to suit the D2. It's a blank that has to be machined, so you can get the +32 offset.

    I saw another post somewhere that American racing wheels have a couple of rims to suit as well, but no info on which ones or details.....


    Cheers

    Whose the ZU Alloy dealer in Australia? Those prices are criminal since the GBP to AUD conversion is AUD$280.50 and AUD$189.50 based on Paddocks Spares. Not sure what they would charge in freight costs though, but freight on a whole steel rear bar wasn't too bad through them and freight on tyres from TyreRack in the USA isn't too bad...

    What is the bore hole for wheels on the D2? I believe the PCD is 5 x 120.

    The Allied Wheels Mamba's are available in 16X8, 17X8, 18X8, 20X8.5, both in machined face and black face.
    The offset is from zero to +45mm, so you are correct, they can definitely be machined down to suit.




    They also offer Rocket in 16X7, 17X8. Offset ranges from +35 to +45 - so not ideal, but still suitabe.

    American Racing Application Guide lists AR893 MAINLINE as being the only one suitable for D2. 18.00" x 8.50" +30 and/or 20.00" x 8.50" +35

    PCD 5/120
    Borehole 70.1mm

    Most aftermarket rims need to be run with hub rings.

    What is a hub ring? A machine spacer that goes over the hub because the bore in the wheel is too large?

    Yep, it is to fill out the gap between the factory hub centre and the centre bore on the rims, without it you tend to get vibrations, especially at higher speeds.

    If you do need them make sure they are machined alloy ones and not plastic.
