New HR rims & 13" whitewall radials

[customFC]

A mate has available brand new HR style rims.
A set of 4 would set you back $250.

He also has a limited supply of Kumho white wall tyres in 185/70/13, as seen above.
These sell for $350 a set of 4.
Here they are fitted to my car.

Located in Campbelltown in Sydney, but can arrange shipping around Aust at your cost.

Oh, tell him Alex sent you.
It won't get you a discount, but it might get me 1 next time I buy tyres.

Hey Colin
I believe so, though not 100% sure.
I had the same size tyre on a standard HR rim before this with no problem.

Just check they will take a hubcap - if you want to use one of course - most of the new rims available are made for trailers & dont have the indent on the 4 hubcap "retainer lugs" so the rim of the hubcap can slip into & stay on, a cap will fit but will fly off.
If you compare with an original rim you will see what I mean.

That photo in the first post sure suggests the wheels have the regular three lugs, or am I missing something

cheers

ok 3 then - typo

Lizard,

I wasn't querying the number of lugs particularly, but whether they hold a hubcap or not. They look like they should, but I'm interested to know if they don't. They're definitely less useful if that's the case.

Perhaps better explained as a high spot so the cap is forced over when thumped on, that's assuming they are the same as the ones I looked at & they appear to be.

From personal experience, the rims manufactured by ROH as a trailer replacement come in two sizes, the standard size ones (4.5) inch do not hold a hubcap, the wheel centre does not have enough of a "Lip" on the three lugs, they are kinda flat on the outer edge, the cap will sit on but the slightest disturbance and they fall off.
the 6 inch wide rims have an indent the cap fits into and therefore will hold the cap perfectly, I bought a set of 4.5's a while back, and were of no use to me, ended up selling them to someone wanting to run no caps.

These are mentioned as the 6 inch rims so probably will not be an issue, and they may not even be the ROH brand ones?
