At wits end with rims
Posted by John Chacona (more from John Chacona) on Mon, 19 Feb 2001 20:45:50
Fellow SNAABS --
Last week, several of you graciously responded to my inquiry
regarding replacement rims for my '86 900. I conveyed the
appropriate information to the wrecking yard and within a week, I got
what I was assured was a suitable rim. It didn't look like any 900
rim I had ever seen, but I asked the guy THREE TIMES 'You're sure
this is a 900 rim from 1979-87?' and three times the guy said yes.
It's not . . . at least I can't seem to get it to fit. The telltale
for me was a keyhole (a fifth hole in the hub area of the rim) that
has no corresponding bolt on the hub. Here are the particulars on
this rim. It is a Fundo K3, 8958910. Other numbers say 6Jx15H2 and
ET33.
I am almost positive I have a 9000 rim here, but I'd like the bitter
truth from an expert.
Please don't point me to the Web site because I spent US$40 and
cannot get a cash refund, only a credit. And I want a make-good from
these guys.
Can anybody confirm this before I tear out what's left of my hair?
Plaintively,
JC ('86 900, 145k, 'Helga')
