I had to part with the wide-5 steel wheels that I used to run on my speedster when I sold our split-screen camper van. They'd found there way onto that to allow proper rated tyres to fit at the rear as the 356 replica wheels the camper was on when I bought it had insufficient offset to allow this. (They were wide-5 mangels 5.5" rims with the usual offset of 15; the wheels i'd had on my speedster had a special-order (from CSP at the time) offset of 25, giving a valuable 10mm additional clearance at the rims. I had planned to put widened original 15" bus wheels on the van but the company I entrusted widening too had them for more than a year without managing the task.... and the bus was sold in the meantime...
So I'm bringing back as hand carry from the states some 45 offset wide-5 4.5x15 rims from Beck. I'm hoping that with my existing 165/80 tyres they'll give me that nice tucked in look.
Thinking of having them refinished in ivory, with polished drum skinz beneath
Should contrast the black bodywork nicely.
I'll post some before and after photos when done.
