Cookies...

Post by Merlin »

's up?

I'm thinking of buying a set of "Cookie Cutters" (Fuchs) for my bus for daily use.

The seller tells me the rims are 7 in the back, and 6.5 up front.

...and that there are adaptor plates to fit them onto my bus.

Can these be fitted to a splittie without flaring/mod'ng of any sorts?

The rubber is 205.

Cheers, N.

I can loan you an adaptor plate and you can try them out, but my gut feeling is that with an adaptor plate in place it will not fit, are they 15" or 16"s ?

15" afaik.

The dude has adaptors, so I've asked him if we can meet to try them out...

If they don't fit my bus, I may take them for my bug.

I've got EMPI 8s on my bug, but they're really my style...if they're chromed Cookies I think I'll take 'em...

What's a decent price for a set of 5 Cookies?

Thanks, N.

Cookie cutters came out mat black with a polished lip, make sure they have the centre caps or to get them will cost you as much as the wheels
offer the dude, if the tyres are good R3500 and take it from there.

I've seen Cookies with the 5 'arms' polished, and they looked killer.

There are 20 wheelnuts, but I'm not sure about the centrecaps. I'll check it out.

He's wanting almost double that price *gulp*, so I'll mail him and see what's he willing to take for them, and then decide...
