    100% reversed rims, Also the Ad says they are disco rims, quite obviously not, as they are RRC centres.

    Well I like the look of the tyres and the rims Also the minister of war and finance has approved funds for another set of tyres. So might just have ago at getting these. Are flipped rims legal for road use?

    In VIC different offset rims are road legal, but only to a point. In the Vicroad modification guide there is limit on how much you can increase the wheel track without needing engineering. It's not very much - those rims are waaay over that limit. If you increase track width by more than that you need VASS (engineering) approval. Your vehicle with those rims would definitely need to be engineered.

    BTW it's the vehicle you get engineered, not just the rims.

    They are only 6.5" wide so really no different to your newly modded rims, exactly the same process - centers removed and re-welded.
