same over here mate its abit of a problem! for six stud owners!

[Luke]

Have you considered having some adapter plates made up?

[madmax]

Yep have thought about adapter plates but prefer not to, Dragway Wheel here in Oz have made a set of billits and i have the tech diagrams from them, but the cost is quite high.

looks like i will have to pay the price.

thanks anyway

hi I'm new to this board so I hope you don't mind me butting in

if come across a set of 6 stud 15" alloys for the lwb transit, you can put me down for a set as well

I've been looking for a set since jesus was a boy

hi Retired boy racer -welcome to the forum!!!

hi I'm new to this board so I hope you don't mind me butting in

no problem thats the general idea

there used to be a red mk2 pickup with 14" 6stud wellers in rotherham- not far from you!!! i dont know if they were 5stud redrilled or genuine 6stud!!!

I wonder if it is possable to re-drill a set of alloys to fit 6 stud??

[Retired boy racer]

thanks for the welcome Luke.

I wouldn't have thought that they would have been able to re-drill alloy wheels without it weakening the basic structure - shame though there's plenty of 5 stud to be had in both 14 & 15"

suppose it's just a case of keep looking & being in the right place at the right time

I guess I'll just have to make do with the 15" alloy wheel trims for the time being.

I'm also after a chrome ladder like on the day vans if you hear of one going

See what you mean Luke, was thinking of selling mine to finance the renovation, but not at silly prices like that
