As it says + tyres, these were brought a few yrs ago for a project i was going to do but things have changed so im selling stuff off. They owe me well over £700 and were  professionally polished when i had them, but as you can see they do need a polish again. i didnt have the middle inner rim polished as i was going to paint them the colour of the buggy so if you want them they will need a buff.

Chevy pattern but they have slotted holes as you can see. Will fit on adapter plate on 4 stud and a modified front spindle

Looking for around £650

















Paddy.

Also have other stuff to put on when ive sorted the shed out

The wheel width is measured from inside the rim lip.  That's where the tyre sits. Just a heads up bud ;-)up

What are the true widths in inches (inches are still the usual standard for wheel widths and diameters)?

Errr. dont take this the wrong way but are you taking the pee now ?  ???

200mm - Thickness of wall 22mm = 178mm = 7 1/16"

225mm - Thickness of wall 20mm = 205mm = 8 5/64 "

Anyone that needs a converter that can not do it on a calculator -

Not at all, it's just that they're American wheels and I thought they'd sell better if posted in the nominal sizes that they were made it. 8x15 and 7x14 then?

Paddy,

As a person who buys way too many wheels that is possibly healthy,  :-X  I have to agree with the others about your measurements.

Diameter is easy and is in inches   ;-)up

Rim with is not the actual width if the rim itself as that would be too easy, its the inside edge to edge measurement where the tyre sits, and this too is in inches

Now you have your head in imperial mode, the PCD is generally stated in mm, but as yours is Unilug, it kind of suggests anything goes as the holes are elongated.

Might help with the sale if measurements are the same type as the ones people are searching for   ;)

Hope this helps  ;)

On most European things sure but with American wheels off an American car I'd stick to imperial too, typically 5 on 4 1/2" for Ford and 5 on 4 3/4" for Chevy (except for larger station wagons...Ben ;-)up).
