Need 2/205 wheels/tires
« on: September 13, 2009, 09:53:06 PM »
Need cheapo pair of very skinny POS wheels or set of wheel/tall  skinny tire combo to use for loading car into trailer. Anyone got a pair? 5 on 205 pattern.

The cheaper the better. I just need them for loading and unloading. Pm me the price if you'd like with shipping.

I know this sounds crazy and is definitely thinking outside the box but............    Have you ever just thought of making Plywood discs.  I was going to try and squeeze the Cuda in my 7' wide trailer by just making some plywood rounds with a hole pattern in the middle of them.

I would probably still want rubber on there. Maybe 4 space savers from the junk yard, cut out the center and weld in some laser cut ones.

Agreed if you we're going to try and drive it.  But if it's just rolling around I think it would work ok.

four stock VW wheels and tires will work just fine.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Donuts are usually offset quite a bit to begin with.  I agree though, pick a rim you think will work and put in your own centers.
