Hi all, looking to buy a set of RIMS and nuts etc (dont need tyres), since I have 5 almost new 16" tyres sitting in the shed off my current 4x4.
I am in SE of SA, so would entertain western Victoria or SA if any are around.
Since my new ride is relatively new, some in very good condition would be great.
cheers
Lana

Just be careful when buying these alloys second hand as they have a history of falling off. Make sure that none of the stud holes in the rim are scolloped or worn.

thanks mudski, yes I have already seen one advert with a damaged centre (quote.... it still tightens up ok) had to laugh at that!!!! I have heard of "indicators" but not sure how they work on Patrol nuts, they are quite recessed. Fully understand the type used on semi's / big rigs tho'

Just use a texta and mark the corner of the nut. Works the same as an indicator buts its free.
