Thread: 130 steel rims VS wolf rims

LR calls them heavy duty rims an option on 110 and 90's in england

Brand new 130's in Australia come fitted with the 'Heavy Duty Wheel Rims' as Land Rover call them.
They've been standard fitment on 130's in Oz since about '97

Part #'s are ANR 5593 (tubed )

ANR 4583 (tubeless)

I have a mixture of both and the wheels are identical except for the small safety bead on the tubeless rim.

specs are 6.5" (not 6" as Mark said above) 20.6mm offset and wheel nut tension as per Service Bulletin 60/04/97EN is between 163-177Nm (120-130lb/ft), quite a bit higher than regular rims.

hey all,

is there any difference between these 2? or are they the same thing.

if they are different, what are the differences?
can someone provide the part numbers or numbers stamped in the rim.

ps the 130 rims i am referring to are the ones with the holes around the outside of the center.

Depends which ones you are talking about.

There are tubed and tubeless rims in both types as well as a variety of positive and negative offsets, but all are 6.5" wide.

The main difference is that Wolf rims (the ones with the little holes) are made of thicker metal so are stronger but heavier. At least the ones used by the Britt Army are made of thicker metal.

Serg, AFAIK they are one and the same, all use 20.6mm offset, 6.5" width.
The only variations I'm aware of are the tubed and tubeless versions. Do a search, I've posted the part #'s up before, I'm too bloody lazy to look.

I may be wrong but aren't the early 120/130 rims a negative offset* while all the later ones are a positive offset?

At least the one I had recently was a negative offset 6.5" rim.

* Negative offset the hub face is inboard of the centreline of the tyre tread.

2 totally different rims...

130 ones are Tubed

Wolf are JJ (tubeless) and stronger.

i have 130 rims... boo hoo

Have a look at this thread from January: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/general-ch...-confused.html
