Hi All

I remember reading somewhere that there are 16 inch wheels out there that bolt onto the 5 X 112 pcd, I think they were off a merc or something similar. Anyone shed some light.
Is there anyone that does early bay dropped spindles? I'm looking to drop the bus, but prefer to use spindles for the main drop and adjusters for fine tuning.

Cheers

Jon

Thanks Mod, I found a pic of the ones I was looking for, they're merc 16" steels.

Anyone know of dropped spindles? I'd bring them in from the states, but the postage is a monster along with import tax.
