Ex Member Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 How much? Money and weight please.Can anyone put some weights up of their wheels? You might think one kilo more is not so much, but it is always multiplied by 5. Daan Stazworks Double Custom Beadlocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Wightman Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Daan, You asked how I get the rims to run true? My method is once the centre is removed is to have the centre and rim shot blast so they are nice and clean. I have a piece of tube, about 10” dia machined to length so when the centre is placed on it on the hub mating surface it sets the desired offset. This is done on a FLAT steel plate, then the rim is heated with a gas torch enough to expand it to drop over the centre, allowed to cool and in doing so shrinks onto the centre which means the rim will run true with the hub face. Weld and paint, jobs a good un! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pritch1 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I run modulas at the moment and never had any problems, what size would ppl recomend with a set of 35 x 11.50 x 15 simex. was thinking 10" as shown earlier but would 8" work just as well.

You want high offset 8's as modeled by robhybrid. They give the offset but they're narrower than 10's so give more height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
