Have been trying to locate some 16" six stud Sunraysia rims for my camper trailer so they match my GU Patrol original >:( rims (in size anyway). They are scarce as hens teeth. Any suggestions. Think you can buy new ones for about $150 per rim. I need three. Can you believe Nissan wanted $950.00 per rim for the alloys

Any tyre dealer can supply 16"x8" rims from ROH, Speedy, Mullins etc..

Typical cost is about $95.

I might have to go for a trip to Lismore & get a set from you Blu at those prices ;)

I bought a 'Sunraysia' style rim for a 2nd Spare on my GU ST-L. Paid $100 for it plus another BFG A/T. Selection of colours available was White, Silver Grey, or Black. The Silver Grey one is not too bad a match with the ST-L rims. (After I was quoted $965 by one of the Nissan Dealers for an original).

BT, any tyre dealer who buys reasonable quantities (& isn't planning on retiring quickly) can supply @ this sort of price.

Last time I gotta a price on ROH Trac I rims I thought they were about $55. That was a 15x7 but I cant see a 16" being much dearer

They are about 80 percent dearer as the above prices will confirm.

And no, I have no idea why, except maybe the 15" wheels have been manufactured in large quantities for many years as a replacement for skinny 16's on beam axle TLC/Patrol/Hi-Lux type trucks & most more modern vehicles already have 16"x8" wheels so they don't need aftermarket wheels. This means that they are making hundreds rather than thousands.

I guess thats why I paid $95 for the wheels on my GQ!!!!!!!!
