16" steel rim options

16" steel rim options was created by Busta
Greetings all. I'm looking at fitting some 16" rims so I can run taller but still narrow tyres (205/80r16s). What options exist? Used mostly off-road so I'm particularly interested in keeping the rim width as narrow as possible for sidewall and rim protection. 5.5" would be ideal.
A style similar to the Jimny steels would also be great. I'm not particularly fond of the slabby GV steels.

I have tried and tried Busta
Just can't seem to get anything less than 7" wide in the after market area
I have the GV rims two sets and i am not to fond of them.....they have an awful lip on inside.....cleaning without removing is almost impossible
I like skinny tyres and i see my only option is to go for series landy wheels with the spacer adaptors
This is very expensive option new tubeless wheels are around £90 each then £150 ish for spacers
Plus offset on the series wheels add the spacers new offset is around -10
IF you find any let me know matey

Thanks Jack, that doesn't sound promising then! I definitely don't want to go down the Landy rims and spacers route. I've just had a look through all the winter steel rims suppliers and they don't have anything under 7" either.

The domestic small engine Jimny in Japan comes with 5&1/2" X 16" rims.

Yes, they would be ideal if I could find any for sale!
