[Rovernet] Rare bits wanted

[magnet at ican.net]

 From personal experience, I can say that the P4, P5(B), P6(B), and SD-1 
all use the 5 x 5 bolt pattern.  I once had a set of Kelsey-Hayes 5 x 
4.(something) Rostyle lookalikes (Magnums?) that had come off an early 
2000, and everyone wanted to buy them till they realised they wouldn't 
fit.  I also once had an incomplete set of the hubs with the smaller 
bolt circle -- long gone now.

For a long time I have tried to get new steel wheels for my P6B, but no 
one seems to make a 5 x 5 wheel with the correct offset and correct 
position of the valve hole relative to the bolt circle (so the wheel 
covers will fit).

Cheers,
