Don't know if anybody else has found this out yet.. but 4wp has changed the black steel wheels with round holes AGAIN. This time they at least changed the part number..

87-5883 has been discontinued and replaced with 97-5883. Same lug pattern, same 3.75 backspacing, but now there are 8 larger holes instead of 7 small ones. I got these direct from their distrubtion wharehouse store in Compton where they are all shipped from. As they put it, 97-5883 supersedes 87-5883, and you can no longer get the 7 hole ones.

And before that, they had 10 small holes, but the same part number.. fokers and there quality control.

So now I have 3 diffrent hole patterns.. i've got 3 rims with 10 holes, 3 rims with 7 holes, and 2 rims with 8 holes. Geeezzzzz... I was hoping to finaly have 5 rims with the same holes.. oh well. On the bright side the larger holes do look better.

87-5883 was what Wheelers was selling before, I don't know what they are using or if they just changed over to the 97-5883's for the 3.75 backspacing.

I was assured they would still clear, the only thing that changed was the number and size of the holes.. but what do they ever know.. I'll find out on thurs or so when I get them mounted.

I just got off the phone with 4WP in Oakland and ordered 2 of the 87-5883 wheels. They are in stock and they say that they will ship on Monday, I should see them sometime mid week. They also said that they have 4 more in stock. If this is true and they show up, I will post pics next week.

I know that you can also special order the 87-5883's from procomp, but you need to find a operator at 4WP that knows what they hell they are doing... not an easy task!

If anyone else wants 4 and wants them quick, I would call (510) 436-4979 and ask for James. This is the Oakland store. Make sure you price match them to Wheelers at $39.99, as their default price is $49.99.

Again, if they show up I will post about it!
