Sorry to dissapoint but your choice of wheels are pretty limited, unless you go with the Hybrid Brake Conversion.

Best wheels for looks are the Superlites. Can get a really nice set of 15" for around $200 a wheel. I've got them on my brumby and they kick ass. Otherwise BYB is bringing in some 15" steel wheels which look pretty good.

14" you can get scorpians if you want to spend the same on ugly steel wheels as you would on some really nice 15" alloys ( superlites ), or you can get the white steelies you see on a lot of 4bys ( desert rats, sunraiser, etc ). Plus there's a few subaru options around but can be hard to get.

Didn't someone here come up with a plate or a 5 stud conversion using the original brakes from a brumby? They ran a set of white liberty alloys on a white brumby... Anyone remember who this was? The car looked the piece with these wheels...

I thought if you wanted a five stud conversion you could take a set of discs and rear drums to a local engineer, explain what you want, come up with the cash and you have your five studs...

I hope someone can help you further with this.

Cheers
