Hello Jules

Ek is nie een van die slim mense nie, maar ek het tog inset. Ek is vandag ''n stel Patrol mags aangebied en ek wil graag my staal rims verkoop. Weet nie of jy sal belang stel nie maar ek gaan myne nou in mark sit vir so R2500 onderhandelbaar.

Mooi loop

In "search" type in BLACK RIMS and then you read, seems the cheapest way is Hammerite Black Spray

Jules, the first challenge is that the big hole in the middle must be the right size. The Patrol's hubs are larger than most others.

Secondly, the PCD must be correct. this is the distance between the stud holes, but the Patrol uses a fairly common size.

Thirdly, it would be best if the offset is the same, but this is probably not critical if you replace all your rims at the same time, and since you use relatively small tires. If you use bigger size tires with more offset, you will start running into problems with clearance on the front wheels.

Best is to fit some tires onto the wheels, bolt them onto your car and check it out. Remember to turn the steering all the way from side to side while looking, and ideally cross-axle a bit as well?

Hello Jules,

Ek dink jou Y60 (GQ in Australies) gebruik 7JJ-15 vellings met 'n "offset" van 5mm. Dit beteken dat die middellyn van die band 5mm in die rigting van die middellyn van die Patrol verplaas is, relatief tot die vlak waar die velling vasgebout word.

Die meeste van die staalvellings wat mens algemeen te koop kry het 'n "offset" van 0mm. As mens hierdie vellings op die Patrol gebruik sal die spoorwydte effens (10mm) wyer word, want die bande sal effens verder na buite sit. Ek dink nie dit dal 'n probleem wees nie, want baie mense het dit al gedoen, maar dit sal die belasting op die wiellaers effens verander (voor sal die kleiner buitenste laer bv. meer vrag dra).

Die Y61 (GU in Australies) gebruik 8JJ-16 vellings met 'n "offset" van 10mm. ten minste dié wat deur amptelike kanale na Suid Afrika gekom het. Hierdie vellings sal dus op jou Y60 effens (5mm) verder na binne sit as jou oorspronklikes. Dit sal ook 'n klein, waarskynlik weglaatbare effek op jou wiellaers hê.

Soos Peter sê, behoort daar genoeg spasie in jou wielholtes te wees is om 'n "offset" van 5mm hierdie kant of daardie kant toe te akommodeer, mits jou bande nie te groot is nie.

Ek dink die egte Patrol Y61 vellings behoort baie sterker te wees as die wiele wat mens by die bandeplekke te koop kry. Jou nuwe bande is egter 15" en die Y61-vellings is 16"...

Seems my previous post went awol

Had a look at the black A Line Wheels rims, they are between 1 -2mm to narrow but can be probably made a wider, I see my rims have 4 little notches and are not completely symmetrical round on the inside. Now I am in two minds should one buy these or sandblast ( R97 each ) my current ones and use black Hammerite or buy these A Line wheel rims for R2500.

Shalom
