The rims are exactly the same, just manufactured by a different company that has brought/taken over the rights from what i have been told. I thinks its CSA that are now producing them.

they do ZUK rims??
Yep they do Zook rims. Depends what you want though, biggest offset in 15 X 7 zook style is still -20, but the 15 X 8's are -28.
I bought the 15 X 7's and have had the centers reversed so now they are
-shit loads. Painted up with 2 pack paint they look good and its as good as powder coating
The widest 15 X 8 cruiser off set is -28. 15 X 10 the widest is -44.
My experience with my zook rims has lead me think that the best advice is to choose the width of the rim you want to run based on your tyre choice, then get the centers reversed so you can get the off set you require. That way, you can just pick up a cheap set of what ever rims on trademe and not worry about the offset

I'm told it costs about $65 / wheel to reverse the centres at Elite Wheels here in Chch.
What sort of price did it cost for yours?
$40 per rim, but i had to idy them up, drill the valve stem holes and paint them, so $65 all done would be a good price

I actually prefer 16's as they tend to be taller than the equivilent 15 tyre.
Most American makes are now moving towards 16 and 17" rims. I have 16" rims and had no problem finding BFGs of my choice.

You ideally want the smallest rim diameter possible for best off road performance.
To start with an example, a 36" tall tyre is the same height whether its a R15 or R16. Rim size has no effect.l
The 15" diameter rim means that the side wall of the 36" tyre has to be longer between the tread and the bead as opposed to the quivilant 36" tyre fitted to a 16" rim.
Therefore the extra length of the side wall on the 36" R15 tyre allows the tyre to bag better than the 36" R16 tyre, allowing more tread to be in contact with the ground at any given pressure, thus providing better traction that the 36" R16 tyre.
Make sense??
Hell, if i could buy 14" rims and tyres, i would be there!!!!!
