Title: Wheels for my buggy
Post by: OSMojo on March 07, 2015, 08:54:50 PM
I've been looking for wheels for my being built custom buggy (on the forum BuzzWeld DoomBuggy) I wanted some curved deep dishes with big pepper pots, but restricted to 4 x 130 @ 15" there seem to be only modulars (which I will be happy with but I still wanted to see what else there is).

I found these online on an old German Ebay listing, according to the Cherman they're Mickey Thompsons, anyone know? or know of anything similar? They're tasty they only have 5 holes on the 15" ones, perfect.

Originally I wanted to see if there was any way some steel versions of the classic Lamborghini Bravos could be safely knocked up, wadya think? hhhhm I thought not.

You could always go ror blank brake drums or discs and get them drilled to suit the wheels if possible or fit adaptors 4x 130 to whatever if a aiable.

those lambo wheels are wicked!

Quite fancy these myself: eBay item number:221708804230 but I'd have to convert from 5x205 and short on cash atm.

Thanks for the responses chaps, all good advice. If I could only identify/find those first wheels I put on the post though it would solve everything, they're ideal.

So I think then there'll be no chance of finding them. I am going to make some calls tomorrow to a few places who make custom CNC wheels from blanks, see if they can do the Bravos and how much, but I guess they'll ask silly money.
