PHATBRAT Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 How bad do you guys want the PUGS? I know where there are a few. I have a couple myself and I know where there are 2 more sets. One set steelys and one set alloys or aluminum or whatever they are. Also, How much are you willing to pay for them excluding shipping? The yard these are at is a little pricy. PM me if SERIOUS. (I have had a few people interested in stuff but never send money or anything and keep promising that they want this part or that but then drop off the face of the earth.) This can be frustrating for a poor guy like myself. Boz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMVR53 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 new to wheel swaps on Ru's so I bid the newbie question? What specifically is the plus to Pugot wheels? are they wider, etc? What cars/wheels fit our beloved Ru's? Bill F 87 XT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 RMVR53 - The pugs let you get a larger size wheel, 14" and 15", without any major modifications to your car - ie stock lug pattern (15's might need a little body work for clearance depending on the tire chosen). and yes they are a bit wider, which opens you to a broader range of tire choices. Not 100% sure which years/makes will fit, but am pretty sure the 80's 505 series do. Others would know more on this one. And TGW - thanks for posting that place's name and phone!!
