Help with convo pros

[Turbro]

Went parts shopping with a mate for his GTR and in the corner of an isle I see what looked like two buckets with boxes of wiper blades stacked inside.
Im like bro, they look like convo pros. I remove afew boxes of wipers and saw that it was actually convos.

I picked up two brand new never used 16x13" convo pros for $200AU. The shop owner had no idea what they were!:D

He had another set in the back that had obviously been used, but they had massive gutter rashes. How much would I be looking at for getting the front lip as there genuine 3piece wheels. Also who sells just lips.

What stud pattern are they to suit, 6 lug must be for a truck? I dont think you can buy the lips separate as Centerline only ship as complete wheel. Also you wouldnt be able to buy the rivetts centerline use to put the wheel together.

im shattered. was hoping to use 4 of them for a coffee table.

Whack 'em on eBay.
There's sure to be plenty of truck owners that would want them. They're a great looking wheel.

Serious about the coffee table? Four would be too many. Just one or maybe two would be plenty.
A nice sheet of tempered glass will cost you. Ask me how I know the price of that! ;)

Yeah im keen on the coffee table.
but, if i wanted to use them on a car though, say a tubbed camaro,id just need custom axels yeah?

Coffee table would be a better option, be silly to use them on a tubbed camaro with that size stud pattern.

If it is just gutter rash, you don't have to get a lip, just do like the second hand wheel dealers do and get an engineering shop to fill in the area with aluminium weld and then turn down of a lathe. After they are polished you will not know which one was the dodgy one.
It is a bit specialised but I am sure there would be plenty of places near you in Japan that could do it, and not for too much money either.

there dated 1996. can you make out anything else from the barcode?

Even Centrelines website doesn't show that size or even a 6 stud rim.

Of course they could be custom made?

Thanx for that champ.
Yeah i found out that the p/n = 16x12 and the pcd is 6x5.5.
Strange thing is when i measured the width (from lip to lip) it was around 34cm = 13.5inch so im confused. did I measure it wrong?
I started polishing them up last night and they look unbelievable!

You should definately grab those other ones and take them to a machine shop with a tig and a lathe...

Put some pics up with them polished... Definately nice trophies to have laying round...

Yeah might grab them and wait till im back in oz to get them relipped.
Tell you the truth after seeing how they came up polished im getting keen to fit them to a car! I thought i had a deep dish with a 3" lip on my 19s, the dish on these is like 9" deep.
Any ideas on what comes out with a 6x5.5 pcd?

The measurement is taken from inside the lip

[Turbro]

oops, I measured from the outer lip to lip.
