Hey there.

I've been after this type of wheel for years but I can never find them in the correct size.

I may be asking the impossible but does anyone know if there is a remake of this style rim? In 15x8 or 15x10? I need them in HQ pattern.

Or does anyone know somebody who has some?

Cheers.

Adam

I'm not sure if they are making new anymore (I heard whispers the may be?) - but not by who etc.. I saw the ones pictured are on ebay at the moment. They are getting hard to find as I was watching a set of rims (no tyres) and they sold for $800 on ebay a day or two ago. It's prob a matter of waiting for them to pop up! Good luck!

Wheels Australia used to remake them. But they needed a set to remake and they said they were as rare as rocking horse poo!
I was after a set for my UC nearly 4 years ago and the search was... well, tiring!

Good luck, you may have better luck being for HQ pattern!

Just rang Steve Fryer, I think I just got him as he wanted to leave work haha..

I asked about 15x8 and 15x10 in HQ pattern. 5 spoke. Couldn't give me a price as they have not started to manufacture them yet. Apparently I am the 2nd person this week who has inquired about them.

Basically this guy has bought the dye's from the old manufacturer, and has only re-manufactured this type of wheel in 13x7 and 13x8 size, as he hasn't had enough interest in the larger sizes yet.

He has to order a minimum of 200,000 dollars worth of stock for the castings place to even think about setting up. So if anyone else is keen give him a ring and let him know.

He is going to contact me within the next 2 weeks after he speaks with the casting company so he can give me an eta on when the wheels will be ready. So it looks like he more than likely will go ahead with some of the larger sizes.

15x8 have a 3.5" offset, and the 15x10 have 5.5"

Stoked!!
