Staffordjc Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 I have a set of metric alloys. Tires are garbage but the size is 190/65 HR 390 make me an offer if interested. I’m in Salem OREGON and would be willing to ship if you pay the bill. To save on shipping I can remove the tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hi Stafford, The center caps, and the lug nuts are common to all 505 wheels, but the metric rims themselves are a tough sell. If you don't get any offers I'd suggest selling the caps and lug nuts separately, and then recycle the alloy rims. When I took mine in I got $50 - better than throwing them out.

V-M Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Agree on bean on that. metric tyres make no sens any more hard to find and no reason to get them. I have also set waiting for recycled pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRDT Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 TRX tires are just too expensive and you can find 15" rims with the exact same design... Maybe, if there is enough material, they could be machined to bolt a BBS outher lips and convert them to 16" but other than that I can't see any reason to use them on a 505 or 604.

Goce Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Perhaps someone wants a lathe project so he can machine the centers out and make a 3 piece wheels from them, i've done that for a set of ferrari 308 wheels but they are more expensive and rare, if i remember right it wasn't cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 I pursued having them machined into something useful and I even had a good friend that had a wheel machining / restoration business and he simply refused. Not enough meat in the lips to machine down to 15”, didn’t look like a good fit to machine them into wheel Centers. He said it’d be much better and stronger to use forged billet blanks and machine centers rather than using old cast aluminum. Some guys in Australia machined the wheel center out and then welded them into the alloy bells of a Nissan wheel - looked great, but he didn’t want to do that either. He made some good points so that’s why mine just got recycled. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
