Stupid alloys...
Stupid alloys...
They don't fit on the Sierra...
My dad got an absolutely bargain, 3 Rav 4 alloy wheels at $5 each. Plus they're brand new. He originally got them for a trailer but they wouldn't fit or something. So he said I could have them... then I found out the bloody hubs are too big. They would have been nice too, 16".
They were selling quite a few of them, but when he went back for another one they were gone. Doesn't matter though as they don't fit.
I know its probably impossible but is there a way to make them fit ?

Don't know if he'll let me have them hacked up, hes probably just going to sell them now. But yeah only 3 is a problem, I don't want to pay a lot for another new alloy if it might not even work.
Its annoying my dad didn't tell me that they were pretty much giving rims away, I found out a day later, when there are none left. I would have bought 4 or 5 just for the hell of it. If they didn't fit I could have made a profit selling them anyway.
A trailer with them on would be pretty cool though. But I'd hate it because a trailer has better rims than my car.

I realise they aren't for Suzukis, I'm aware they don't fit. I was just curious if you could actually modify them to fit. From what I've gathered you can but its a bit iffy and sounds dodgy.
So no I'm not going to, I wasn't going to from the start unless it was easily done.
Yes I do know they have a different stud pattern but thats irrelevant when you consider the hub problem. Enlarging the hole for the hubs looks almost impossible as it would cut into the holes for the studs.
As for alloys, you may think they are gay. But compared to alloys I find steel rims very gay.

sounds stupid but i've become attached to the stock rims (although they do need to be stripped back and resprayed )
pitty i couldn't get them in a alloy 6.5"-7", would be a great sleeper mod

At $290 a rim... Not f***ing likely! But they're close to what you probably want.... Or check out these cheaper (but not really that cheap) round steelies: http://www.onall4.com.au/USA_Steel_Wheels.htm

Compared to 15 x 10 steel beadlocked rims, they are super Grimace!
Rav 4's are Grimace

Sorry I have had special request that I keep it the same for a little while so that I can be identified when scrolling through pages. It is a fully sick avatar I can understand if you are jealous. I will draw one for you if you like??
