Thread: 130 steel rims VS wolf rims

Where can one obtain Wolf rims from and for how much ?

I have the tubed style 130 rims but would prefer Wolfs... how would I go about fixing that ?

With a fistfull of money?

You'll have to buy a set of Tubeless "wolf" rims. ANR 4583.

Price is around $200 per rim, unpainted.

Go wild with the welder and DIY safety bead?

I've merged the threads.

Wolf rims have a heavier steel center. I ended up replacing wheel studs with longer uk military ones as were too short IMHO for wolf rims. The strength of these rims is a bit over the top.

5 rims will cost about $1000, plus I bought military wheel studs + $200, + fitting wheel studs, + painting. I dont think they are really worth the expence.

People run tubeless tyres on 130 tubeless rims. Tube tyres are better for changing a tyre off a rim in the bush as they have a deep well to push the bead into to get the tyre on to the rim. Woff rims have band similar to disco rims. Disco rims with an altered off set (10mm) or a wheel spacer would be a good option. Plenty just run disco rims, which are very strong and tubeless.

Another option is King wheels 7 x 16 tubeless (sunny type design).

Hi VladTepes, have a DC 130 Td5 and went thru the same issues, and have recently purchased 6x wolf rims (black) tubless for $990.20 which included freight and gst from Rovacraft in Sydney....works out at $165.04 each...Gaz.
