    17" steelies

    I am chasing the 17" steelies pictured. What series/model/years did they make it to Australia? I have an Amarok and looking for some...

    Let me know how they look by posting pictures with them fitted in an Amarok section. Also be interested what tyres did you fit on them.

    They would need to be banded to fit 265/65/17 on them. As far as I'm aware they are +53 and 6.5" wide. Banding them an inch would bring the offset closer to +40 which would be ideal

    I've them from new on my 8/2004 made 4Motion Transporter. They're still available in spare parts and well priced.

    Yep that's where I saw them initially but only saw them recently on a White Rok (above) and mine is white. Just exploring the options for new rims, my dynamic or king or whatever they are about to go in the bin!

    Also well aware of yours too mate, red, petrol and tuned!
