proper rally wheels on your EA? sounds good? check this out


Recommended Posts

yo everyone, i was casually browsing through my demon tweeks catalogue thinkin how nice some of the bits in it would be on my truck, and then i came across some rally raid wheels by compomotive for the toyota, in the 6 stud pattern, which ive seen many EA's been converted to, and if you were looking at an aluminium rally wheel, well, this looks to be it, personally i still love the weller/desert rats, but thats just me

I don't understand why people don't like the 6 stud wheels... Oh well...

 

Phiz: nice!! they look like the panasport rims very popular (at least in the states) on the datsun Zcars and other datsuns!

Performance Superlites are what they are. Look the same as the Minisuperlites and plenty of others. I forgot which company originally came up with the design. But there are a lot of brands that have wheels that look the same.

 

I'm hoping to get some M/T's for them, then I can have good tread and good looking wheels :)

phizinza, are your 6 lug 15" superlites available in the US? those are some of the sickest wheels ever!! they look like the 13" einki's but bigger!

The ones I got were off ebay, $170AUD for the four to my door.

 

I don't know if Performance sells in the USA, but if you were to buy new you could get the 4x140 ones (yes, they do a 4x140 here in Australia, in 15x6 or 15x7) Problem is there, it costs about $210AUD per wheel new.

 

(sorry for distracting people from the subject at hand Tom)

Hi, I came across this post after seeing a 6-lug superlite wheel while cruising Google image search. I'd hate to bump an old thread but I'm desperate to find these rims.

 

Where can I find a set of these Superlite style 16x7 wheels in a 6 lug pattern? I found the Performance Wheels site but they don't show a 6 lug version of the Superlite wheel (maybe it's been discontinued). I found the Watanabe Site also but they only have 8" wide wheels with offsets that won't work for my truck.

 

Any help would be appreciated in tracking down this style wheel (even if it's just a replica) with the following parameters...

 

Size: 15x7 or 16x7 (maybe even 15x6 or 16x6)

Bolt: 6x5.5"

Offset: +20mm (+/- 5mm)

Backspacing: 4.75" (+/- 0.25")

have you tried emailing them a request?

you might get lucky they might have some old ones sitting around.

 

It seems to me like a five lug swap might be cheaper than ordering wheels from Australia.:banghead:

It would probably come close once you add up the cost of everything required to do the swap. I have a few other options for wheels, but most are either generic steelies, or expensive custom billet wheels with styles that don't suit the truck.
