I'm after a set of standard sized rims for the FB, but must suit disc brake front (HR). Can be a bit rough as I wll strip to metal and respray. Local pick up prefered.
Thanks, Dave.

Hey Pat, I have a set of 7inch rims here. I was after something around 5inch or whatever the original width is. Got me some FB hubcaps with 'H' medalion and want to show em off!

1962EK, I'm gonna keep the dragways so I can change over whenever I feel like it.

Dave.

Dave,
not sure if you want new, but ROH still do make them for trailers and caravans
they come in a variety of sizes and stud patterns
13 x 4.5 Max Load 750kg
14 x 5 Max Load
HT - 750kg
HQ - 950kg
14 x 6 Max Load
HT - 700kg
HQ - 750kg
HQ 1tonne - 1000kg
around the $60 mark for the 14" x 6" rims not sure of the price for 13"
Try a trailer place if your local tyre retailer can't get them

Cheers

Thanks Marty. Didnt think it would be that hard to find standard HR rims. If I wanted them wider the stock, I wouldnt have a prob, theres heps out there. I actually have a set of 7inch in the garage. I checked wreckers, internet, wheel suppliers, and nobody could help.
I wil try these Marty, a little more than what I was going to spend, but if its the only option I have, I will look at going down that path.
Being for caravans, I assume the lugs for the hubcaps wont be on them either.
HMMMM....what to do????
Dave.

the problem is disc brake wheels are hard to find, i have some but not close to you and not sure i want to get rid of them as with everything else just getting harder and dearer to buy

caravan wheels have the hubs on them for hubcaps if in doubt take a hubcap and try it in the store.I got mine for 40

I didnt think that they would be that hard to find RB. Hang on to them!
Thanks Fatboy, its looking like thats the way to go. If you got one for $40, it will probably end up cheaper than getting 2nd hand set and fixing them up. All I need for the new ones is to spray a different color, now thats another kettle of fish. I have H medallion hubcaps, and was going to fit white walls (portawalls). Now do I spray the rims ....White, the body color sandstone beige (which I have some paint left from the back door touch up), or the flash color, desert glow?
I was leaning towards the flash color, desert glow.
Hmmmm....decisions, decisions.
Dave.

White would look good with the flappers

The do have the lugs for hubcaps, I shopped around a bit for mine and had a variety of qoutes for them and ended up with 14 x 6 for cheaper than the 14 x 5 at another place so pays to shop around.
Goodluck

From what I've read, the 13 inch "trailer" ROH rims won't take a hubcap as they are missing the locating/holding lugs but the 14's have the lugs so will take a hubcap.

Dave paint them the colour of the flash. Will look good against a port-o-wall.
