my falcon wagon has the oddball american 4x4.5 pattern. I need a set of ok looking (holes are ok but no gay swoppy shapes or anything) steels in this bolt pattern, must be 14" and somewhere between 5" and 7" wide. does anybody have experience with any of these rims and can tell be the widths and daimeters?
more importantly, do you have a spare set!!!
Cheers!!

Most of the Datsun steels from older cars are 4.5" IIRC, Laurels had them bigger but they're not exactly common. Bluebirds etc and a lot of the others you list have a FWD-ish offset, is that a problem?
Do they have to be steels?

4.5" would do at a push. wider would be better though.
thing is I have a set of brand new 14" 175 whiteband tyres sitting here, and a pair of turbine moon discs in 14", but the wagon is 13" as standard.
so the fornts will be totally hidden and at the rear the arches are low so only 3" or so would be visable. a lot less if i skirt it......
fwd offset is fine, itll probly be beneficial on the front, and I can always reverse rim them anyway.
cant really be alloys as fitting 80s 14" alloys to my wagon would rate at about 289/10 on the gayness scale......

Chesterfields a little bit of a run from me, baby and all but if I'm your only option let me know as I can help a brother out for the karma. You might be best putting an "anybody in/near chesterfield" post up get more attention.

If you're looking for wide steels I would suggest you go for something American. 4.5 inch should be easy to find - Mustang and other yank size. Plenty of steels knocking around in US 14 X 6.5 standard size.

Plenty of steels knocking around in US 14 X 6.5 standard size. Charlie its not easy to find, believe me! the only cars that came with this pattern were the first few years of mustang, and falcons. nearly all of which were 13". theres far more stuff available in the J equivelent. |

no probs.
charlie, very few yank cars are 4.5" 4 stud, only early Falcons, Comet and Mustang (1960 - 1967 or so) IN fact I was reading in a US magazine recently them bemoaning the fact that thye couldb't find any wheels in the correct PCD for their early Mustang and so were changing the hubs.
