17" rims needed
Does anyone have a set of 17" steel rims or mags for sale? Any make will do, but must fit a Patrol.

Re: 17" rims needed
Most 6 x 140 mags with a 0 to -25 offset can be modified to fit a Patrol. All you have to do is to open the centre bore up to 110mm
Most of those wheels I am talking about has a centre bore of 108mm. I recently had 3 Ford steel rims (92.8mm centre bore) opened up to 110mm. There is an engineering works on the Malvern /Bedfordview border that does it for R450 an hour; the rims only took 10 minutes each to modify, total cost R225. They will fit on the Patrol at a pinch (with a 30mm bolt on spacer) as they are actually about a +25 offset.
If you find a set you like, I can direct you to them to modify the mags to fit a Patrol. It is a safe, straight forward cut (1mm all the way around the centre bore) on a lathe.
