wheels for dune buggy

I've seen a lot of buggys with those and they look good, but not what I'm looking for, appreciate the info though Smile

Also I'm keeping the stock 5 lug pattern, the rear of my buggy had an adapter plate for a 4 lug pattern but was held on by 3 lugs out of 5, I don't trust the plates personally Razz

Found them, apparently they're called "Modular wheels" now to find them in a 5 stud pattern... seems they're all either 4's or 6's... and in the UK ha. Link to what they look like in case anyone else is looking for them too!

Oh.. You were after U.S Wheel modal 97's !
They can be got in 4x130mm 15x5.5 and 15x6.
Summit Racing is a huge aftermarket speed
parts operation here in the U.S. and can get
them. Don't know if they ship overseas, but
I believe so, though it would be pretty expensive.

Maybe eBay-UK or other places would have them.

I know you're not interested in this type wheel
but I never thought I'd find a 5 lug kidney bean
style Ansen wheel in alum for an early VW. Just
had to post it. Enkei 9535 style.

actually I live in the U.S., yeah I saw those ones but I had been attempting to find some in a 5 lug pattern so I don't have to get an adapter plate or anything (i want to keep it on the original bolt pattern) I did however find these http://www.ebay.com/itm/TWO-BOAT-TRAILER-RIMS-WHEE...mp;vxp=mtr

I'll be calling them in the next day or so to see if they'd work or not, not entirely sure since they're technically made for trailers but they company seems to do a lot of custom work so it's worth a shot right? Razz

sorry took a while... but yeaaahh... not recommended for car use... Buuuut I did happen to find a U.S. based company that has them for cars!

Just need to work out their bolt circle thing... I know my pattern is 5x205mm but not sure how that works into what they have on their website.. any thoughts?
