Advice on wheels for sale

Post by mariner »

Hi all. Anyone able to give me any advice on either set of the wheels below? Would they take the load on a camper? Fit straight on? Considering changing my original steelies but not confident with my knowledge! Cheers.

The first ones are ancient and look like they need strange flat wheel bolts. I'd avoid those.
2nd ones look a little more promising but it's not clear what type of wheel bolts you'd need.
If you just want 15" steels, try the ones Brickwerks sell. They are tested, they fit and the sellers know about these vans.

Two of those eBay ones look like they have been in a fire.

I was about to comment the same, I would only buy those if I needed the two painted ones for a trailer.

I have a similar style wheel on mine, That are rated for road use and van use. Search for...
