Look on car-part.com , there are lots of them that turn up in a search of your region.


now for an observation:

Why are these rims refered to as being 'neutral'/'zero' offset? By definition a neutral wheel would have the mounting surface in the middle of the rim, equidistant from inside/outside. Offset is the distance from the neutral line to the mounting surface. These are 7" wide, with 4.5" bs - an inch off from being neutral and far from '0'.

And yes, for whatever reason '0 offset' is cast into the inside of the rim (I have a stack of them sitting a few feet away), but it doesn't make any sense to me what so ever. Am I terribly misguided in my concept of rim measurement?

ànow I have a set of 7 " - 0 offset rims when I'm ready for new tires! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />


Let's see, Jay...
That's one on each corner, one on the spare hanger, one on the roof rack... and what...
One on the HOOD???

Man, that's just greedy! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />




Thanks Chase - I really appreciate the effort, but right now there are already too many modification monkeys on my back.

Someday... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />


Cheers! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

smiley.....um.....i think he meant 7 INCH rims, hence the " mark, but hey we all make mistakes, and i can imagine the sight of a truck w/ seven tires spread across it would make for an interesting one indeed, almost like some prehistoric animal or something, maybe moutn some horns or (more functioncal) cb antennas on te front corners of the roof rack, that's be one interesting creature....

for anyone searching for isuzu snowflakes (one of the best looking rims ever made, IMHO), it might help you to know that they came not only on the trooper RS and "wide-tire" troopers, but also on early 90s rodeos (amigos too?). at some point (mid 90s?), they went to 16" and the holes became "rounded triangles".
i'm in the process of refinishing a set i bought via ebay, so i personally wouldn't worry much about the condition unless they're totally jacked. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

i got some abrasive pads (3M brand) at pep boys that attach to a drill. the coarse one strips off the old clear coat and removes the nicks/scratches; then the finer one cleans it up a bit further; then it's time for a polyurethane clear coat (available at auto parts stores in a spray can).
i don't know that this is the "best" way, but i learned it from my neighbor who has two "garage queen" muscle cars.
i haven't gotten to the clear coat part, so i'm considering taking it a step further and using my dremel to buff them out more, as the finer 3M pad still leaves little circular scratches.
