Still on the market people - now listed on ebay
Happy to separate wheels (make an offer) and tyres (I'll keep the tyres) and can be posted Australia wide in original box's. Forgot to mention two centre caps damaged but have ordered 4 new ones to go with the wheels.
Have decided to go with Flat 4 Sprintstars as they will bolt up no problems - well so I am told

Due to some bad advice and a little haste I have a set of brand new wide 5 radars, tyres and chrome bolts for sale. It is not worth returning them to the supplier as I have fitted tyres, bought wheel bolts and can't be bothered with the hassle.
These wheels have never been fitted and the tyres have never been used, still got the stickers on them. The wheels are 5x15 inch and the tyres are 195/60 Marshalls (silicon tyres made by Kumho).
$1250 firm and pick up only. Will consider trade for other wheels to fit my wide 5 bay window bus. The wheels will be available from the 17th August as I am going to Byron for a holiday. I'll put them on the DSK site also, after the 17th they go on the dreaded ebay.
PM me any questions or call 04195566322
Located in Brunswick melbourne
Cheers Paul

Who made the rader's Paul?
If u could tell me a bit more about them?.. I'm looking for a set some time in SEP/OCT
They are Airevo brand - supplied by Volkspower and Classic (who I bought them off - still got the box's)) among others here in Oz. That's about all I know

what was the bad advice?
nick
so they wont fit on a 68 bay?
A candy coloured clown they called the sandman tip toes through my room every night just to sprinkle stardust on my pillow go to sleep everything will be allright
1967 Type 3 square
1956 double door panel
1968 single cab kombi
That they would fit a kombi - I asked twice and was told yes no problems.
The centre hole is not big enough too accommodate the hub nut etc
CPM - no they won't fit your bus

Same with ovals , but can be made to fit.

Just get the centre hole machined.
There is not much material in the rim center to machine them, but there is possibly another way around the problem.... Fit short, late bay axles and machine the drum 'nose' to suit.... In theory this should give you plenty of room....
Thanks for the advice guys - would love to fit these rims but agree with Humpty about the amount of material. Unless someone can tell me otherwise.
Humpty - unfortunately I reckon what your talking about is beyond me. My level of expertise and time is limited
And to think I thought i was just going to bolt them on - ha
George at Classic is happy to take them back if I don't sell them or find a way to fit them

could you not use a spacer to push them out a bit from the hub nut ?

I doubt there is a spacer long enough.... the bus 'crown' nut and brake drum nose is pretty damn long.... And besides.... If there was a spacer long enough.... I hate to put that sort of strain on the poor little cast drum and thread.... Its just not designed for that sort of load....
thanks humpty always a wealth of knowledge what wheels for my ute then?got a set of gen 356 rims but wanted something different are the repo brms trouble too?

might help you out.
Hey Chris.... Yes, BRMS will bolt straight up, but you will have an issue with the standard centre cap on the rear axle..... There are longer centre caps in production (25mm longer?).... Not sure where or who, but they are out there.... The single biggest issue with the RADAR reps (not to be confused with the RANDAR reps) is the centre hub of the rim was designed to fit a standard early 60's bug front drum dust cap.... If you look closely on HOODWINK's car (with my old rims on it) you will see the dust cap is very close to the centre hub of the rim.... It just wont fit a bus' rear proboscis!
As for Randee's rims (RANDAR).... Dunno.... Never seen a set on a standard bus brake drum....
sorry guys ive got first dibs on the wheels i recon that they will cool on the volksrod.

Early Ovals had massive front drums.... Late ones didn't.... Can't remember the actual year of the change over though....

Guys will these fit a 65 type 3?. Have a prospective buyer but needs some assurance that they will fit

ok.. my 2cents..
i have a set of genuine radars on my 54.. with T3 rear drums and 64 front drums; and i had it trim down the dust caps with the grinder so they fitted further into the drums as to let the shiney cap fit nicely over the dust cap when the wheel is fitted up..
you only find these things out when ya start boltin all the stuff together..
as you can see in the above pic with the dust cap visible (front left hand wheet with speedo cable thingy) it is mighty close to where the trim cap is to sit into the center..
a bit of rootin around and a cupla beers it finally fitted up for me..
good luck yeah
