Morning,

as I seem to have been too stupid to ask questions the right way on
facebook, I'll try here:

Anyone has a link to a *European* provider of 16" steel rims for our
coaches? Someone already pointed out the information at

http://www.gmcmotorhome.info/wheels.html

but that has not given me any helpful leads for Europe.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

If you are Internet searching, try using the word "wheel or wheels" instead of "rims".

Hallo Peer,

Did you already look at this germansite ?

http://www.reifen-felgen.de/alufelgen/
Choose in the right of the screen: "Profi-suche"

There you can insert all of the exact details for the rims / wheels

Hopefully this helps, Succes!!

Hi Peer,

Was affraid, you could not find something with 8 holes.

A while back someone who has a Fiat Ducato based MH, with the Fiat Light Chassis, insisted on having 16 inch rims instead of 15 inch (for the older Fiats it was not passible factory-installed) but he did got the job done, called CW (Borbett) and asked if they could help him.
They did take 16 inch rims but on their CNC-machine (or how do you call that) they cumstomize the necessairy measurments for the 15 inch Ducato.
I hope I explain it clearly enough ...

Perhaps thats a way you could get what you want !?

Daniel,

thanks.
> Perhaps thats a way you could get what you want !?

over all of a sudden looks much more interesting ;)
