WHAT WHEELS ??
In preparation for the January arrival of my new 130 double cab hicap I wanted to know what alloys (preferably black) have the same offset as 8x15 steel modular rims.



I had these on my prevoius 110 hicap but prefer to fit alloys to my new one.

Any suggestions

Depends how deep your pockets are! I run on 10 x 15" with a 40mm offset! Mach 5s not alloys though but steel?

Alternatively why not stick to what you know and stay on modulars? Harder wearing and easier to clean! Thumbs Up

Tidy looking truck by the way! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Thanks but steel modular rims are crap quality and rust quickly.

Not if they've been powdercoated correctly. Unless other forum members have got it wrong of course....

My steels have been on for two harsh Winters with absolutely no evidence of rot!

ZUs with spacers perhaps????? If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
