Title: diahatsui wheels on my jimny??
Post by: jamesey on April 24, 2008, 00:02:00

hi ive got the chance to buy some sport trak deep dish multi spoke alloy wheels  and wondered if they would be ok on my jimny as i know they will be more offsett then my standard steels much better for off roading  , all i need now is some alloy wheel bolts now then i can fit them?? :roll:

I was told that the sport trak wheels fit and offer better offset, but it was steel rims that were discussed and these seem to be rare. Alloys will give the same improvements , just not keen on alloys for off road use. If you saw my rims you'd understand why!

I think they've all got dings of some degree in them - the tyres stay round though. I just feel alloys are more vunerable off road.
