the_bard Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Yeah, I know they're a type of rim :brolleye: . I just have no clue why a particular set of rims are called pugs, and some ain't. While I'm doing research on lifting that wagon I'm dreaming about, I keep running across references to 'em... seems they're in high demand. Just wonderin' what all the fuss is about...

GeneralDisorder Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 They came from another brand of car - the Peugeot - specifically, the 504 and 505 models. These are the only cars we know about (besides some ATV's), that share our bolt pattern. They can be hard to find in some area's of the country. Out here there not too difficult to come by, but you do have to look around. Board members are a good resource. I personally go with the toyota 6 lug steels myself - I can get em everywhere for $15 used, or $25 new. They come in white and black, and any width you could want - 6", 7", 8" and up...

Flowmastered87GL Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 We call them pugs because off the top of the head its hard to spell Peugeot (is that right??) Its just easier to say Pug rims rather than Peugeot rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
