They are 12 inch ITP cast aluminum C-series 2+5 4/4 bolt pattern. I am going to keep these as a back up set for different types of riding. I am interested in that 5/100 jig you have PM me and let me know what you want for it include shipping you know my address. The link you posted for the ITP rims shows them as 3B+5N I guess these could be mounted with the rim in either direction. This would be good for tight trail applications and then high speed driving. Hmm 350 for the rims and then some tread and your jig OUCH. Let me know what you are looking for on the jig and I will likely get it.

the jig is pretty basic, it also reems one of the 4/4 holes out, no matter how you turn it you always hit one of the holes....I got 2 aluminum cover plates as well that just make the wheel look nicer and cover the 4/4 holes....

I've broke down and bought 4 new rims for the single seater custom buggy.

I got:

2 ITP SS106 6 spoke rims for the front with a 4/4 bolt pattern and a 2+5 negative offset

2 ITP SS106 6 spoke rims for the rear with a 4/110 bolt pattern and a 6+1 positive offset.

I am getting a set of wheel adapters made for the rear wheel hubs so I can go from 5/100 to 4/110.

Here is a pic of the new rims I should see them in a couple days
and the wheel adapters should be here in about two weeks.

Those are some sweet wheels you got there. What did they run you?

They were actually pretty cheap I got them from www.atvoutfitters.net I spoke to Mathew.

They cost me 292.85 for all four rims shipped to my door Very Happy

Pretty good deal I thought! I intend to just swap out the tires off the other ITP rims I have since they seemed to be a perfect size for the buggy.
