I need 4 x 15" rims - 2 off 4.5" wide and 2 off 5.5" wide.

I am going to paint them so chrome doesn't need to good or can be painted.

Ken

Will consider interstate purchase!

Mangle no longer make the rims you are looking for.... But I think there is another company producing a rim that is very similar.... I have no idea if anyone is importing them at this time....🙁

Best of luck with your search...

Thanks Simon

I missed a set of 4 at the Veedub Centre last week by 5 mins. $200! I am sure there are some around.

that set was 5.5 inch wide all round
no 4.5s there....

humpty · 1 Mar 2009, 3:49 pm

Why don't both you guys get a set of 5.5's and cut them down?

I have a set of 4 original 356 Porsche rims in 4.5 inch. They come with new tyres (unused) and original 356 hub caps. Tyres are Nankang 145 R15 78 S and 165 r15 87S. Asking $850 or $775 without caps. Jono 0418 444 356

Yeah they are the Mangle copies I was talking about.... You'd be up for close to $500 plus shipping for a set of rims...

Managed to find 4 off 15 x 4.5 - 356 Porsche rims locally in Perth. There are two sets still lurking around Melbourne with tyres that I passed on.

mat54 · 10 Mar 2009, 7:29 pm

still looking for 5.5s ?

if so my deal still stands to swap
two 5.5s for two 4.5s

cheers

Hi, Im after a set of Mangels as well, 4 stud and doesn't matter if it's polished or not. Can anyone help? I'll be more than happy to pay for the freight too, no matter where in Australia you are!
