Simon, weren't you going to put a wheel and tyre package together? Any progress on that?

Re: Mefro steel wheels - in stock.
Possibilities are endless, tell me what you want and I'll see what I can offer.
I could turn sorting different sizes that will fit the wheels for 2WD and 4WD into a full time job!
Easier if you just tell me what you want and I'll take it from there.
As an aside, valves for standard 16" rims should be on the webshop soon too, they have managed to make it onto the shelf of joy, where such things that need to go on the webshop end up.

The standard factory 16" rims have a larger hole in the rim and need a larger valve to go with them.

Mefro 6x15 rim + 215/75/15 BFG A/T = £169+VAT each.
£845 +VAT = £1014 inc
I would do a set fitted, balanced for a grand.
However, there's shipping on top.

Re: Mefro steel wheels - in stock.
No idea why, it isn't that obscure a fitting as the tyre place had just run out of that size. They got them in the next morning from the nearest branch. Maybe it's just one of those little extras that make a 16" so special

Re: Mefro steel wheels - in stock.
16" valve is medium truck size rather than car/light truck size - chances are the outer rims were made for something else with that hole in, 16" being a standard nato size - maybe the Pinz or Mog ?
It caught my garage out too recently as they had run out of that size when fitting some tyres for Paul, had to send him out in my van to the nearest place that had some in stock

We always knew them as land rover valves, in the olden days when I used to fit tyres.
Intact, I blame balancing land rover wheels and tyres on a old school spirit level balancer for knacking my back.
