Thread: Another Rim and Tyre Question

Vlad,
You're living in the wrong corner of the planet.
Do you have Pro Comp up there ?
My rims came from them, at around $150 ea new, and they are a good buy.

If you want to do it the easy way, just buy a set of second hand Disco rims. As everyone has said, they're 16x7, fairly easy to get and should cost about $100 each. They'll fit your 235/85's no problems, and have capacity for larger sizes like 255/85 if you ever decide to go that way in the future.

I'm sure the local LR wreckers up your way will have plenty.

Gee's I must have got a bargain,,,
bought a steel disco rim as a second spare from MR in Brisbane for $30,,,,

The 130 rims cost alot, but they are strong as hell. They wiegh at least 3 times as much as the standard and disco rims and I challenge any one to bend or buckle one (been there, have lost it at "bad" speeds off road to the level of buckling a standard steel or cracking a mag and havn't damaged one yet)

i'll agree with that the 130 rims i had were near indestructable. Also I beleive Andersons was sellng some wolf rims a while ago as well as the rarer landrover split rims.
cheers
Mick

The only Kumho website I could find was at www.kumho.com.au and it only has a single page with contact details - no info on it at all ? Perhaps there is another site somewhere ?

What brand ? How much ? From where ? and how are they going - any comments on long term ownership... ?


Also anyone who runs Disco 16x7's on a Defender I'd be interested in your comments.


Goblin (I think it was you) who mentioned Pro_Comp - and good steel wheels. I'd love some more details...

Thanks ppls.

Starting to look like I'm the only one on here :roll:

Thought I'd ask another really stupid question while I was here.

Would my Kumho Venture AT's be tubeless or have a tube ?

(and depending on that answer...) are 110, 130, Disco rims made for tubed or tubeless tyres ?

Ta.
