    Gordon from GOE should have an set of his rims with good strong tyres for rent. You break it, you bought it arrangement. We could all do our trips up north on 18"s and then come home and swap them over.


    For me a set of 18s is not just about the $ but the space to store them.


    When I win lotto maybe going to buy a complete set up, rims and drawers for the back of a D4 complete with spare wheel winder extension. Stone stomper, Engel. Fit over seat overs, Rhino roof etc. Kit out your D4 for the big trip for a quarter of the price and it gets converted back to a soccer mother shopping trolley afterwards! On the fifth hire I start making money!
    Your idea has merit James.

    Or shell out for GOE 18s, leave them on and sell the 19s to some poor bloke who got a good deal on a car with 20s?
    Cheers

    A 20" rim gives you much better tyre options than a 19"

    A D3/D4 18" rim will fit the rear if you can source one at the right price.

    Yes,18" is much better.I was very lucky to get a secondhand set of GOE wheels at a very good price,else I would still have 19" rims.20" rims can be found at very reasonable prices.

    Really appreciate the offers from all around the country for a spare rim, and ideas re cheap ebay purchases etc. Gordon's 18" are a dream only at this stage...

    Laughto, I will PM you and hope to work something out soon.

    Cheers,
    Scott
