QLD Steel rims

[jdrose]

I am chasing a set of 16 inch steel wheels in the 5x112 stud pattern. I'm after the pursuit style rim.

really hard to come by! i found this out the more difficult way.

they only VAG cars they came on were *some t4 transporters, and audi a3s - specifically the tdi-e 8P.

otherwise you can go to mercedes and there a few available in full size spares etc.

You got a pic of the ones you mean?

You could try collecting a set of 98-04ish Passat spare wheels. They are usually steel...

We have one here haha!

[Shteifen]

would you want old transporter ones?
they are freakin heavy though. obviously made to hold up transporters so the metal is really thick on them. i dont know if i can get them but i may be able to.

Yeah that is what iam chasing. Let me know ifyou can get hold of a set. Weight doesn't bother me. But I don't want to pay heaps for them

[Shteifen]

no worries, ill check if i can get them or not

[Shteifen]

the weight of the wheels will make the freight a fair bit more :S

[jdrose]

How much do u think it weighs?

[Shteifen]

ok, i do have them, they are out back of my house.
ill weigh them now... 10.2 kg each.
come to think of it i dont know how much normal (see:golf) steelies weigh.
how many do you need? i have 5. maybe more if you want but i say 5 in case u want a spare.
ill put up a picture a little later tonight

[Shteifen]

oh and how much did you wanna spend?

[jdrose]

I'm only chasing 4. Where abouts are you, for frieght cost? How much are they worth, I'm unsure. Those pics would be extremely appreciated. Cheers Jd

Hey im sorry man, i wasnt sure of the PCD so i took one into work today and it turns out they are 5X120, not 112.5 or whatever. good thing i checked!
so sorry, i dont have the wheels u need
good luck though.

[jdrose]

No worries mate. I think the t4 was the transporter with 112.5 pcd. Thanks for the effort though.

the t4 has the same PCD as AUDIs and later model VWs (passat, mk5/6). the t5 has the same stud pattern as a commodore funnily enough.

how much are you willing to spend on steel wheels..?

[Golf Loon]

AU Falcon are 5x112. Dunno if that helps.
