Stud Pattern ???

[Rogue Trooper]

We certainly do but there is absolutely no benefit to sticking with the CF stud pattern. It just limits modification in so many ways. If you are going to move to discs then you are better off converting to HQ or Ford. It means you don't have to have the discs re-studded and you are open to a huge range of wheel styles. Perhaps not quite so easy with the diff but there are more benefits to swapping your diff out with a 9", 12 bolt or Jag than there is in keeping the original and if you really want to keep the original it's not that hard to have the hubs re-studded.

Great if you're someone who is quite happy with original equipment but my attitude is MODIFY EVERYTHING!!!!!

My thoughts exactly Rogue If it needs changing put something more late modle in then it's easy to get parts for Cheers Reid

I understand there are many benefits to changing diff/stud pattern infact I'm changing mine, but I think people are starting/already believe that you cant get wheels to suit the Bedford pattern which is not true. Any decent wheel shop will be able to order in just about any wheel you want with the stud pattern you want. If you cant get a particular rim in the pattern you want then that wheel is probably cheap rubbish.
You shouldn't have to pay an extra for mags with custom PCD either, the only downside to custom rims is having to wait till the next batch goes through production. Not so bad if you're dead keen on a certain style.

We still have a couple of small neich manufacturers here, but they dont make for production.

Mostly do race wheels, hot rod and drag wheels, see www.arrowwheels.co.nz

Problem with the Arrow wheels is that they are no good if you are planning on putting any weight in the back of your van or using it for towing. The rims don't like it so the owner of the outfit told me.

oh ok thats interesting I know Lance well, but have yet to speak to him about wheels for my van, I was just going to either stick with what i have or go to a ford holden pattern and get something more generic.

wheels are a bit of a way off though...
