Believe it or not, I bought those wheels off this very forum, in 2003 (or thereabouts).

hey Babs, your wheels are 15's aren't they?
next time you've got a wheel off the car could you measure the inside of it for me so i can see if they'll fit over my brakes.


Yup...15s. Which dimension do you need measured? Just the inside diameter of the rim?

Unfortunately they do not make an offset suitable for an MX, despite numerous requests to do so.(at least they didn't as late as Jan ).

Hey hegzie, personally I think a wheel with a black centre and polished rim would really suit our Malibu Golds. These are Chaparral wheels, same as those on Peter's (pcmx5) '97 LE, but with a different finish.

Ripspeed in the US; current quote to Aus; around $1300 here including nuts etc;15x7,38mm offset; they also come in Gunmetal and gold and have now been modified to fit the later, bigger, brakes.
