    how to find rare wheels

    Out of interest what sites etc do people use to hunt for rare rims, i've been trying to find a set of rims that went out of production around 5 years ago but no luck yet.

    Put a wanted thread up on wheel whores/the wheel sanctuary but no response yet. Only place i've seen them is the states but thats a bit too far to go for them.

    There's a few proper wheel whores on another forum I'm on if you have the details I can ask?

    Chris at force five autos came up trumps for a friend of mine and shipped at reasonable money too IIRC, I can find out exact details if you wish.

        Stern reverse face 3 piece splits, I can find them in 5x130 but not keen on using adapters, its either these or lm's/other bbs's.

            5x112, et 35 if possible, 8.5x18

            depending what he's got may be able to work around different dimensions.

            Nice rims and there is a couple of different versions of stern rims i've seen that are nice its just a shame they stopped producing.







            also these rims by stern which are interesting.

                  I was looking at them recently, only seen 5x114.3 sets over here though. Would look rather good on a coupe.

                    That's an easy one, just ask Bry!! I'm sure he'll have a set under the bed

                        Sorry mate, he had never heard of Sterns and he didn´t have much wheels left only "normal wheels" and not alot of those either.

                            rbwheels.com has lots of rare wheels. Mostly in 5x114.3 which can be run on a 5x112 car with wobble bolts
