    wolf rims

    has anyone managed to track down genuine wolf rims in Aus?

    I found an old reference to trying to import some from the UK but can't open the archive.

    Hi Dave.

    Aren't the wolf rims the same as 1998 onwards 130's?
    After 2000 they were even tubeless versions.
    If they are, I have someone down here that may want to sell their 1998 non tubeless 'fender 130 rims.

    If you want to get them, Wolf rims aren't too expensive - work out to be about AUD90 each in UK - but the killer is the freight to Oz. If a bunch of guys can get together and have them shipped in one shipment the price becomes reasonable. There are a number of retailers/on-line shops that sell them... if you can get in touch and IF they reply...

    I did that sort of a thing with Defender mirrors - 2 of us got together and bought some from UK - from memory the price would be the same as it was in Oz if we bought these individually, but since there were two pairs in one shipment the cost was about half...

    Wolf rims are the same as (new) 130 rims - different colour...

    You can buy Wolf rims in OZ. I know, coz I bought a set. (I had to buy them when I bust my 130 rims while on my travels last year.)

    I don't know where they came from coz Clarke put me in contact with the company. All I remember is that they were in Sydney & they cost $200 ea.

    Check this out on ebay.....

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

    OK its ended but it might be worth your while to contact the seller and see if they have other rims.

    These ended selling for 150 bucks a rim.

    I'm not sure that the Wolf rims are the same as 130 rims. 130 rims are heavier duty than standard 110 rims though, and you shouldn't put 110 rims on a 130 (from an insurance perspective).

    Anyway, I got 6 new Wolf rims to replace the standard rims on my 130, and they were heavier (in kg) and also tubeless.

    Thanks for your reply's guys

    What I'm after are the 130 tubless rims which I think are wolf rims

    I beefed up the front of the 110 with 130 springs to compensate for bullbar and 40 kgs of winch but I'm running 235/85/R16 BFG's still on the standard 5.5in rims which are OK but should be on at least 6in rims.... why Aus spec 110's were fitted with these rims has me beat when UK and EU specs had the 6in steel rims

    some of the rims I've looked at have been wolf copies of unknown manufacture

    so I'll contact some of your recomendations and see if they are genuine wolf or at least try an get hold of some genuine LR 130's

    Dave
