Found pics, but no specs or info

Thanks to xhxrsix for initially telling us about this

 

[klappers]

if i was to buy some. Black on black on black. Black rim black bead lock black bolts.... i dont mind the rim but. Looks good

 

[xhxrsix]

As far as I know they are coming in 17x9 -6 offset and I'm sure the other size was 20x9 (didnt pay much attention to that one haha too big!)

Not sure how that offset would go on a patrol without spacers? Might be able to twist an arm and try one on my car.

Have been told by a pro comp dealer that these will be available in 16s too!

 

[xhxrsix]

Hmm ok I'll sus it out! 16's would be nicer..

Why ?

 

[sim79]

Why ?

Lighter = better handling and cheaper tyres

yeah i was looking at his other comment about uncertainty with 17x9 -6 offset. The 16x8 will be a -12 offset making the 17x9 stick out further

The higher the negative offset means a wider wheel track.

Correct but the 17x9 is wider so it would poke about 6mm more that a 16x8 -12.

I was more concerned with rubbing on the inside with a -6.

but the 9" rim will be out a further 12.5mm so an extra 6.5mm over the 8"

I am running 17x9 -6 no prob

 

[xhxrsix]

Ah nice.. 35's?

No rubbing on the inside when turning full lock?

I currently have 315s on 16x8 -13 and they only rub on the rear a little, if they were larger than 35s I might have issues. Also have 36 simex on -22 and they rub about the same as the 315s.

Gotcha.

This one is from Interco - it's not a bead "lock", but a rim designed for exceptional bead retention. Worth a look:

They sound pretty good, I wonder if they'll work as good in the field as their spiel suggests.

 

[xhxrsix]

Interesting.. they do look like mud would slide right off but what about the inside? Wouldn't the design create a huge inside mud catcher around the brakes..

 

[Sydo]

Pretty good reviews on the Birddog. Wonder what bore size ?
