Split rims for an 80 - how much?

Davoe,

Mate, I still run the skinnies on my 75 series and am always on the look out for some spare rims. If you shop around you should still be able to find some for $50 each but even they probably won't be much chop. I work in the mines too and we still run alot of 75 series vehicles and hence the demand for them is still there but there is very little supply due to the new 5 stud rims (What were Toyota thinking!!) But yes $100 is a bit rich. In a few years time I'll probably have a look at converting my cruiser to the 5 stud setup and then being able to pick-up the new type split sets for bugger all. Good luck.

Cheers,
Hughesy

I have 5 split rims to suit an 80 series you can have (well, for a carton...) - only thing is I am in Karratha. Let me know if you are keen

Try the tyre dealers we used to run the nissan patrol rims and tyres on our HZJ 75 you might also try the nissan dealer as alot of them change them to "fats" and have the spits left. (used yards as well).

Hi Davoe,

I have 4 split rims off my old 80 series. 3 are bare and on the 4th I have a 7.5R16 Dunlop tyre that was a second spare for the 80. My original idea was to use the rims on my van, but as I have the GU now they are just gathering dust and have done so for many years now.

The tyre/rim is now used as my 2nd spare on my GU, but have actually yet to use it. You are welcome to have the 3 rims and if you want the 4th, I just need a rim to use as a 2nd spare on my GU. I am in Perth if you are interested.

Cheers

PS. Also have a frame to mount a winch on the front of an 80 series between the chasis rails, free to a good home.

Just bought four from a local tyre place (1st one I tried) for $25 each. Virtually brand new - they had a shed full of them from people who change over to 'fats'.

Try E Bay
I bought 4 for about $80.00.

Bought ten recently for $40...all never been on road !!

Davoe-

Wait a bit for the 4WD club newsletter- Gary's got a set of 6 with average tyres on em for $100-he traded in his 80 for a GU (poor bloke)
