In exchange I want 8 Nissan 750x16 split rims in good condition.
The Coopers have around 16,000km on them. Three of the tyres have multiple plugged holes and two tyres are clear of damage. The alloys are the normal 3 spoke ones, 16x8inch
Cheers

I am not selling anything. I am giving it away
Call it barter if you wish.
Through the
forum I may then be able to pinpoint where I can get splits as I have asked here before with very little result. Wreckers don't seem to have any either.
If David doesnt like this post he can remove it.

Hi Willem
Do you mean 5.50F 16 split rims with 7.50R16 8PR tyres to suit your Nissan Patrol?
If so I will have a look over here in the west for you, scrap metal prices are up so it might be a bad time for looking at secondhand steel...LOL

MRF 16 ply
Going on another little adventure into some never never country next year.
Coopers are too thin in the sidewall for my purposes. It has been an expensive lesson.

Footy, no way. I've been trashed since I first hit the keyboard, and I expect more "tsk tsk mail" from tonights entries.
Crikey it's been enlightening, though.(Almost feel scared to utter the word 'crikey' : feel it should be trademarked by now. bleep eh, that's life.

Hi Willem,
Why split rims? Are you contemplating more off track stuff next year??
Personally I'm going to experiment with MRF (hopefully tubeless) on narrow steel rims as a second set. If I have to go with tubes will go for split rims. We are anticipating a lot of raw dune country next year and feel these will handle it better.
On existing tracks and
the desert I'm very happy with Cooper STT and they are a god send when it turns to mud.
Interested in your plans.
Heading down your way or Googs at the end of a stint in the Simpson during October.
Cheers

Hi Ian
The tubeless tyres just don't cut the mustard in the rough stuff. The trackless wastes of the Simpson NT are not that bad and I have yet to suffer a
puncture out there but when one wants to go exploring elsewhere driving across turpentine country, they fail.
The tubeless tyres give a good soft ride and are sure footed in the rocky stuff. Mud...whats mud? Havent seen rain for yonks. My old
Coopers didnt like clay at all.
Drop in for a g'day. I should be
home and then I can tell you where my next venture is planned for.
Cheers

Thanks for the re-ply but Toyota splits do not fit a GQ Nissan.

Thanks Michelle. I realise that I can do that but wanted a different response, which I got. I have sourced some rims in
Adelaide.

Hi Rolande
The G60 rims do jot fit on the front hubs of the GQ. I discovered this when I borrowed my old G60's rims back from its new owner some time ago.
Cheers and thanks anyway.
