    Wheels for 130's.

    There have been a few threads on whels for Defenders but I am specifically interested in wheels that are legal for Defender 130's.

    There is a difference due to the total GVM of the 130s being higher than the 110's.

    I would be interested in the experience of any Defender 130 OWNERS or regular drivers, who care to offer their thoughts.

    I'm interested in both alloy and steel wheels, but only in 16" rim size.

    One of the main considerations of course is truning cirlce in that I need for it to at least stay the same but ideally get smaller !

    Thanks all.

    ( Responses with pics even better ! )

    They have a 1400kg capacity. (Not sure if thats each rim?)

    Pretty sure they are kind of expensive though

    The TX1 alloys are good on paper too and as far as i've heard great in life.
    Performance Wheels

    1400kg and from memory (but can't see on site) only 9kg... were about $140 each for 16x8's machined and colour coded last time i checked about a year back.

    ROH do a alloy rim for 130's
    or you can go with the Sunrasiers style rim at around $100 for 130's
    even better are the Peko's but at a even better price

    i'm sure there are more around but it would be a matter of calling the rim companys.............

    or if you dont mind calling interstate you could call a mate of mine that runs a trye shop i'm sure he'd be more than welcome to point you in the right direction

    colour coded - there's another conundrum.
    White to match the body and contrast with barwork and tyres,
    or black to complement bar work and tyres.

    Which are the TX1's ? (or are they all TX1's except for the TX2?)

    FWIW I really rate Performance wheels.

    Back when I was racing, the category I ran in was dominated by Performance and Rebel wheels.
    Rebel were a touch lighter, and they used a slightly wider offset to Performance and so I used Rebels to maximise my track width and could use track spacers when I needed to, but Performance made a better wheel in terms of consistency, concentricity, porosity and strength.
    Any wheel rubbing and you'd most likely break a Rebel, whereas the Performance could clobber kerbs harder and rub without shattering.

    I know plenty of people who run disco 1 steel rims on 130s - with absolutely no problems.

    There are a much stronger construction than sunraysia/speedy type rims.
