Looking Awesome Pieter!!!
@Tjaart: As far as I am aware the 4500GRX should be able to take 15" rims. The problem comes only with the 4.8, which has larger front brake calipers (too large for a 15" rim to clear).
The best bet is to go past TWT or one of the other rim retailers and pull a front and rear wheel off, and see if they have a 15" that will fit.
On my 1998 4.2TD, a 15x8" rim with a -0.25PCD works very well in combination with 33x12.5x15MT`s. The steel rims that I bought are commonly used by the Hilux and Cruiser crowd as well. I paid about R450 per rim.
Good luck!

Re: Mag/Rim size
Ag nee man G-Man.
Ek het nou klaar die bande gekoop. Damnit. Het jy dalk 15" rims? . Ek soek juis die 15" bande, want dis baie goedkoper as die 16"s!! Ek is baie erg opsoek na 15" Pro-Sport rims. Weet iemand waar ek kan kry in Gauteng? . Laat weet my asb!!
G-Man. EK het R1500 betaal vir die 33" Dueler M/T per band. . Dis splinternuut. Hoeveel soek jy vir die 16"?

Re: Mag/Rim size
Hello Ross
Got a moerse good deal. The chap I got it from bought it, but couldn't use it. . That also helped my decision to change to 15" tires. They are cheaper than 16", freely available and looks better on nice rims. I am just battling in this back-water hell hole aka[k] Polokwane to get rims. . What size are your tires?
