SEARCHING FOR STEELIES!!

Hi all,

I am importing a gen 3 to the US from Japan and am having some trouble finding some wheels that are the correct size and have the style I am looking for. Being in the US its somewhat difficult to find Jimny parts and apparently this specific wheel size. Any direction or ideas of vehicles with the same wheel size would be GREATLY appreciated, no matter what country. I am looking for a 15x6 wheel with the 5x139.7 pattern and 108mm center bore size. Looking for this in the classic OEM steel wheel look. Attached is a pic of the style I am searching for.

Thanks very much for the help.

I'm not sure I would describe the ones in your picture as classic OEM jimny wheels. I don't recognise them as being Jimny wheels? The ones most common on jimnys is what I've posted below. These are generally very easy to get hold of as most actually tend to throw them away to change to alloys or other wheels. Not sure where would be best to get them in the states but I do hear of Samurai/Jimny owners out there having luck finding the correct wheels when you search for trailer wheels instead of the car wheels. It would also be worth posting on an American Suzuki Samurai group as the steelies on the samurais are the same so that should help your search.

In my experience the JDM Jimnys usually ship with 16" wheels not 15".

Other than that wheels for first gen (89~98) Suzuki Sidekicks & Geo Trackers, or second gen (99~05) Suzuki Vitaras & Chevrolet Trackers are good candidates.

And remember to ask for the two plastic wheel caps that fit into the rear wheels.

Hi
Many like you importing a Jimny to the US?

Havent seen jimny wheels in this style. Some or a few 16" maybe but very rare. 
The closest design I think is the old Kia Sportage or Daihatsu Terios wheels from about 15 or 20 years back. But all those have rusted away most likely so would be hard to find I guess. If If remember more model names I will update..
Dunno if these cars was ever imported to the US but maybe Canada. Most where delivered with alloy wheels too.
 
But in the US there should be Heeps CJ5/7 15x7 wheels with the appropriate BC or offset/backspace.
Not the design you are after at all though.
