Schweeeeet rims dude!

I am so jealous right now. That's about the only thing on my vehicle that still needs upgrading.

They look great!

I have an extra spare tyre with no rim... was told this weekend that there is no other 17" rim that will work - surely thats not true!?

Other than not looking too nice, are there any major problems with using two difference rim types (of the same size) on the same axle?

Do those rims have the correct offset? Or do they stick out more than the std rims? Standard is +46mm

That is normally the problem with aftermarket rims for the Pajero...

Hi Greg i am not 100% sure of the offset but the new rims are about in the same line as the old ones about 5-10 mm more to the outside went for a outing after the rims was fitted and had no problem.
