Wheels: thread pitch

[Krabby]

I have decided that I would like to keep the steel rims for when i do overland trips and put the 17 inch alloys on for day to day driving. I approached IG to order and was sent an invoice. It came through as R115 000 South African Rands some $6880 Dollar. This is absolutely mental and just can not be justified. If you Order them when you order the Gren they cost R10 000 south african rand $600 us dollar odd. So I guess there is no way I am taking these Rims. I dont mind paying a bit extra but x10 of the normal price is not fair and a rip off. I am concerned what spare parts are going to cost.

Any other options that anyone has tried and fitted?
What size 17 inch rims am i looking for. Its all very confusing?

That is nuts! You can spend 1/4 of that and get plenty of aftermarket alloys. I’m not sure if it translates there, but the Method wheels I purchased were $1,400 for a set of 5 delivered to my door.

If steel wheels are what you really want, you might try looking for MB Sprinter van ones as they have the same specs.

Do you, or anyone know the size(s)? And load rating?
I'd go with a 16x8 for my caravan as I'm replacing the alloys it comes with. And the tyres for that matter.

Do 17" factory black steelies come with black nuts or chrome / silver? Looking for some locking lug nuts. Very expensive from IA. Thanks!

Also, @AMan Do you run a safari business? Googled Karibu Kenya and that's the best return.
