Ian Barrett Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I currently have the modular wheels on my truck which look a bit like split rims with the little bolt heads on them. But they are ratty looking now after about 10 years and as Paddocks still sell them I ordered a set complete with BFG AT KO2 tyres etc last week. I paid for Express delivery so I'd have them for the weekend when my 11yr old nephew was down so we could fit them Saturday morning as a fun thing because he loves the Landy. but I cut my nose off to spite my face on Friday when I called to find out where they were, to be told they wouldn't be with me until Monday. So I took the hump and told them to cancel the order. Now I can't find the same wheels anywhere. Are they unique to Paddock? Please don't tell me that, I really don't fancy eating humble pie and ordering them again from these clowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 They're probably britpart, I'd check there catalogue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Barrett Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Thanks for the help chaps. The wheels I'm after are not on the Britpart website. They are these http://www.paddockspares.com/6705165svmo-16x7-silver-grey-modular.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Devon 4x4 used to sell them, I expect they still do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Last time I bought some of the 16x8 modulars, Devon4x4 were actually cheaper than Paddocks by a couple of quid each, which came as a nice surprise ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Barrett Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Great, thanks for the info on Devon 4x4. I looked on their website and couldn't see anything so I just called them. They think they have the wheels I want and are looking at it for me - along with the wheel & tyre combo I ordered/cancelled from Paddocks. I'll keep you updated.

Ian Barrett Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Oh man, quandry time. Devon 4x4 can't get the wheels I wanted in the size I wanted. They can get something similar but only in 8" wide which is too big for the 235 profile tyres I like. So I got them to price up Zu alloys with BFG AT tyres and it came out £200 more than Paddock. It looks like I'm going to have to acquire a taste for humble pie because as a Yorkshireman my sensibilities can take a hit for £200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 235/85 is fine with 8 inch rims, I've even seen tyre width tables that have 235 as the recommended tyre width for 8" Just checked on the BFG site and for your tyres they show 6-7.5 as the min/max rim size so maybe 8 is pushing it a bit ! I fitted 235/85 Cooper STT Pros to 8 inch rims last week (Cooper can be mounted on 8 inch) so I assumed they'd all be the same but it seems not.
