Hi Alan;
Welcome to ExPo
I don't know if this will help:

These guys are in Perth,WA and get their steel super singles custom made by a local wheel shop.

I'll give them a call on monday, thanks!

May be give us a call too.

We can probably give you a range of options as far as Canter rims go and also find a buyer for your old rims (if they are 4x4 rims, that is). Canters are our thing and we build custom vehicles for Eco-tourism (beach and outback), remote Aboriginal communities,etc and those guys are always after spares and with the ridiculous price of a genuine 4x4 rim they are still worth money second hand. We are on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland (Haven't seen much sun for a year but). Where are you?

Have a read of the recent SRW threads here and in the "general camper discussion and modification" forum.

Mullins wheels in S.A. make the best set of 19.5" rims for a canter, and tubeless!!!

For 19.5" ,we use these. Made here in Queensland so much less frieght if your in this part of the country. Still tubeless and very heavy duty. These are about 8.25" wide and normally get fitted with a set of Hankooks or Bridgestones (all terrain type tread pattern). So far for pure offroad work we've only used the 16"s. But the 19.5"s would be absolutely perfect for Cape York. Heard you just got back. Are your teeth still chatttering?

I tried Mullin's they told me they had nothing, my rims are std 4x4 canter, so they are worth money!mmm

I have a 4wd workshop in Seaford Victoria.( Outback Accessories )

16" would suit me better with some 35" tyres.

Sounds good, but just watch your weight/speed ratings. PM me if you want to sell the std. rims........

BTW, the cape roads are the best they have ever been

I have found an overseas supplier of truck rims, they tell me they have 16"x7" for Canters, i will let you know the outcome, Amesz never answered email.

Allan Sorry.
I must have got the link wrong again. Doh. Try www.atwarrior.com.au and I don't know of any 35's that would be suitable. Just as engineer said about the weight ratings. The only 35's I know about here are for 4wd cars. If you want to stay with 16's the best option is the Michelin 100R/16s. 16x7 rims would be OK for them, just get the offsets right.

Perfect time to be buying from overseas with our dollar v US. I saw the ones at Stockton wheel. They look pretty good and maybe half the price. "pattersonimages" just bought some 19.5's for his jap import twin cab from them. If you do let me know (in this thread) how the frieght works out. I know they are so much cheaper than here but not sure about import tax and all the unknowns.
Cheers
