I am actually thinking of changing over from my 130 steel wheels to something steel and aftermarket because I want to go to a tubeless tyre.Quote:

Any suggestions on this - particularly with the load rating issue?
I am currently thinking procomp steelies as they claim to be super heavy duty "with 8 welds instead of the usual 4..."
Comments/ideas/suggestions anyone please?
Cheers,

I got a 130 as well running the same set up I am just sick and tired of
all the punctures 7 in the last year all of them have been sand rubbing holes in the tubes. Its reached the point that every time I air down I get worried about punctures. beach trips are the worst I air down to 25psi and have new tyres all round ,really frustrating:mad:
Spoke to Ryano at fourbys in Brisbane and he can get desert rat rims for $99.00 (apparently made in perth) Just not sure if I should go disco rims or
the desert rats :confused:
BUMP ...
any updates on load ratings for 130 steel wheels please guys? Gotta know what I am starting with before I can work out whether or not I can change to something else...
load ratings are going to be relevant for the alloys too ...
thanks,
Cameron
I run them with some road tyres, & I'm not impressed.Quote:

The pro comps have a ring that mates up. Very small surface area, and the studs then have a gap between hub & wheel. Can't be good for them being in tension like that.
Bit difficult to explain, but have a look at one, you'll see what I mean.

OK thanks for the tip Max.
Back to square one I guess ...
