IPSC_GUY Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Howdy all I am looking for information on these rims. Who makes them? Are the aluminum and what is the general consensus on these? I am looking for a rim to put on my 1985 110 build project and I like the look of these. Thanks, IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPSC_GUY Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 EWWW Thanks guys I appreciate it. I am building an 85 110 into my "desert rig" for running around Southern Idaho and Northern Nevada and these look like the ticket. I will see where I can track some down. Thanks again, IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I don't know the price of these wheels, but a e.mail to Silverline should get a reply with further details & shipping cost to USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cieranc Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Apparently they have a 1600kg payload each. The forces use them because they don't cause as much shrapnel damage when they run over a mine as steel wheels do. In being, they just disintergrate rather than send shards of severed steel in every direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
