  View original topic: Where to buy 4 Lug 5.5" Chromies?
hosspowerinc Sun Apr 06, 2008 12:53 pm

I cant seem to find any of the 5.5" wide 4 lug chromies new or used. I have a set of the 4.5" ones now but want to trade or upgrade for some wider ones. Anyone know the best place to get them at the best price? Or where to get used ones?

you night be able to get some used ones in the classifieds here...but i believe you can get new ones from cip1, jbugs, socal imports..and others...they arent all that much more than new 4.5" wheels...

Chrome Mangels are out of production. 14s or 15s. I have called just about every supplier. Will trade my 5.5 for your 4.5.

I'm about to convert my 74 to Wide 5 in the next few weeks and start running 5 spokes. I've got a set of Chrome Mangels on mine right now that I would be willing to part with when I'm done. I've got 4.5's up front and 5.5's in the rear.

This is no advertisement nor endorsement. However, cip1 just got new wide 5s and 4-lug in stock and I'm finding retailers with reports of inventory in coming weeks.

If the threads ring true, this would be from the new manufacturer.

cip1 is not showing wide 5 15X4.5 available, yet.

if anyone needs a wide 5 15X4.5, I may be able to scour up a few.

Arrived. Chinese is on the left with Brazilian on the right. http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/455972.jpg

I have four 5.5" 4lug chromies and two 4.5" chromies. I live about 6 or 7 hours north from you though. I believe they are Mangel.
