Skinny One Piece steel Rims

Post by donk »

Looking at replacing my 750R16 on split rims on the GU with 235/85R16 on single piece rims after a couple of flats recently that i believe were probably caused by rubbish entering into the tube area through the gap in the locking ring & eventually rubbing through the tube



Looking at 16x7 steel rims & notice there are lots of differents brands on the market & wonder if anyone has any quality issues with the available brands



Any thoughts would be appreciated

Often tube failures are due to incorrect size or poor quality tubes, wear caused by manufacturing ridges inside the tyre case, and adhesive stickers/labels inside the tyre case - these labels must be removed before fitting as they eventually puncture the tube.

You also need good bands in the wheel well.

the main difference you will find with the cheaper brands vs the quality ones is the way they balance. chinese cheapies are shocking.
and in a 16x8 theres only about 10 bucks between a chinese rim and a roh trak 2 in my experience
