Black steel wheels
« on: May 16, 2005, 13:29:24 »
Also as posted to DOC but may get some more views here....

I probably need to get some new tyres for the MOT and was thinking about changing to steel wheels at the same time. I am particularly thinking about getting black steel - I have seen Wolf & the modulars that Paddock supply amongst others.  I am also planning on going up to 245/75R16 as a new tyre size.

I was wondering if anyone has any good/bad manufacturers to mention or any recomendations. Cheers.

You need new nuts, if you're on alloys that is.

You could always try reversing the original steel wheels and painting them black, works for me !

Have you cut and reversed the centres or just turned the wheel round???...
the latter isn't exactly safe....

Just what I was going to ask.

It would need a damn good (accurate) welder to do it safely

nope
Amazon MT retreads 235 x75 r16 (i think)
Nice tread, reinforced sidewalls and direction pattern.

They'll be 70 Taz.
I wish they made the same tyre (tread) in an 85.

The grip on the Amazons is unbeleivable.

The Greenway are only rated to 87mph. Might be a problem with the insurance on a Disco. The Technic Amazons are 100mph.
