Have you checked out Allied's steel wheels down there? I don't have any experience with them, but have heard very good things about them. You can get them in standard or beadlocked in a variety of sizes/backspacing. For some info, you can check out http://www.alliedrockathons.com/

i dont know of even anybody that just makes a 15x8 rover wheel, let alone a good one. Ive seen a few sets getting around but nothing that is currently being manufactured.

Speedy are still making 15X8, next lot available in 2 weeks and are in high demand apparently, price about $110ea
Eastern Wheel Works will do a custom finished in powdercoat and any offset any colour for $198ea
Mullins are about $60-$70ea available straight away, but not sure on the quality?
Local place will make a set with 8mm centres and painted for $210
Steve from Aust Comp Tyres is getting back to me with specs on his rims from the US, price is $195ea

Looks like speedy is the option if they are better than the mullins? ~$200ea is a bit steep I think, but then I havent bought rims for a long time...
I'm gunna try the wreckers and see what turns up...

I think i might settle for the cheapys from mullins,Get circle trak to do some bead locks on them .should work out to about $210 each for 15x8 with the bead lock on. my thing will be pretty light in the end so hopfuly they won't crack or whatever,
Thanks for the run down on rims daryl.

I run 15x10 Mullens wheels on my Toy and so does Adrian(POS) with custom 1" and 2" backspacing and the ones we run are thicker than the ROH rims. Before i bought these i thought that ROH had used the thickest materials but these apear to be thicker again.

Speedy are total crap and the centres bend real easy as do the outers.

I would imagine that all the Mullins rim sizes run the same thickness material.

The guy at mullins told me the cheap ones he has are imported ,but i have dealt with mullins a fair bit over the years so i can't imagine them selling a bad rim .They have pretty good standards.

Update:

Called mullins office in Sydney to order today and they yold me "Sorry, we only do 15X7 for Rovers" :mad:

So i emailed these guys, www.rocky-road.com/wheels.html, in USA who do US wheel in any offset you like. They came back and said postage is going to be $55 USD per wheel on a slow boat so thats $110 USD each before duty, I think these are the wheels Steve from AustCompTyres is selling but he still hasn't got back to me with details.

Nil by wreckers and no one else is chiming in with second handies except Locky who has some 15X10 Pecos

So it looks like the only option is custom or speedy for 15x8
