Riveted Rangie Rims

Post by stephen »

I picked up some old rangie rims from DAS on the weekend, I am a bit puzzled as to how they are built. Standard they should be about 16x6.5 but they measure 16x7.5ish and the centres are riveted in not welded. I assume they are not standard, are they supposed to be riveted? would they hold air without a tube? there are old michelins on the rims and they are balanced was there a time where rim modifying was done with rivits instead of welding :?: :? they are going on a camper trailer

What are you measuring? Outer edge to outer edge?
Measure from safety lip to safety lip. That'll be the 6.5"

Rangie rims

Post by davejb »

I might be wrong but from memory the real early rangie rims did not have the safety bead rolled into the rim to keep the tyre on, and the centres were riveted to the rim not welded as you described

The old Rangie Rosstyle rims are only 6 inches wide, not 6.5 from what I have been told. They also have no safety bead as Dave said, so you should run tubes, although most people dont!!

I had about three sets of them laying around a few monts ago, sold them all off now (don't have any use for them).
