[konstbug]

I have 3pc PanaSport centerlock triple-stepped (14" to 17") wheels

Refinishing them before selling to USA/Europe or sell as is?

ps: refinishing will performed in Russia
thx

12 centerlock drive pins means you are limited to a 4 lug setup.
What is the PCD?

[konstbug]

Limited? why? I can make custom adapters for any PCD....or I dont understand what you mean.

And why you asking about PCD, I supposed to sell them like centerlock wheels

[zoo]

Limited because of 12 holes on the wheel, so you can machine/drill 4, 6, or 8 lug bolt holes. That is if the current PCD is something within normal specs(If the PCD is something like 124mm then its not usable).

Ok so you want to use on 5 lug, make custom adapters.
Guessing the minimum thickness would be something like 20-25mm.
Is there room to make that fit? Is the offse high enough to subtract 20 mm from it?

if drill 4 lugs then 2 holes will be on spokes, I think its not good. I think to drill such wheels not good idea at all

I want to sell them like centerlock wheels, without any PCD or adapters. And the question is - refinish them or not before selling?
Anyway if I would like to set them - I would found the room for sure)) by fenders or something. But I think drilling or adapters will "kill" that wheels, imho

Just curious, what are the specs on them? Width, offset, PCD, drive pin diameter and center bore?

[staystetti]

I'd refinish them. A nice oem color and a polish out of the bolts (if you can) will be a great addition. Granted they are going to be hard to sell regardless to the mass market.

I dont really understand what you mean "PCD, drive pin diameter"
so I take a picture with measurements:
front 9.5j: http://www.ebayphotogallery.com/zdje...-95j/7828134/1
rear 10.5j: http://www.ebayphotogallery.com/zdje...105j/7828089/1

thx, do you know they original color?

why do you think so? They are quite rare and good specs...shall has a demand, I think, no?

thx a lot, here is specs:

front: 17' / 9.5j / +0et / pcd 114.5mm / hub 73.6mm / dpd 15.7mm
rear: 17' / 10.5j / +5et / pcd 114.5mm / hub 73.6mm / dpd 15.7mm

Well, looks like you can make 4x114.3 pattern easily, with the hols between spokes.
The low offset makes it less useable with adapters.

4 holes red marked in current scale

*two holes between spokes. Not bad looking, no?
510/early Z and the ae86 people would love those. S110/12/13 too.

[konstbug]

not bad....but its not "great"))
okay, Im not really worry about looking, Im afraid of loosing the strength of them, cuz 2 holes on spokes and it will be 25-30mm of each hole
