WANTED: tubeless rims for 6x6
« on: September 23, 2014, 08:25:46 PM »
G'day
I have 7 very 'new' Olympic tyres on my 6x6,  only problem is that they are all more than 6 years old. I want to replace them with tubeless tyres.
I know I can fit tubeless tyres to the standard rims as I have done this before in my Defender but I'd rather not.
So I am looking for a set of 7 tubeless rims to replace them. I am flexible with the size/type as I am not trying to keep the vehicle in pristine military trim.  Not looking for anything super wide, as I am intending to fit 235 85 16's. 130 rims would be ideal.

Prepared to deal with cash adjustment for anyone who wants the original rims and tyres.
Pete

I have 5 tubeless Disco 1 steel rims, 16"x7". A friend has another 5. I would like to get some spare Perentie rims, though I don't really need 7 of them! Would you consider a 1:1 swap and cash adjustment for the extras? Or are 4 spares too many? Not really interested in the tyres, and I suspect neither my friend or I wish to split our sets.
 They are all located in the northern half of Sydney.

Thanks for the offer but I should have said from the outset that Disco rims were the only ones I wasn't interested in, but I have a few leads on Wolf rims and if that happens then the Perentie rims will be for sale on this forum.

These are a screaming deal:

Worth the drive if you have the time (I'd go myself if I didn't already have a set). Also you'd have to check that they're the tubeless wheels; but they do appear to have the safety bead. All you'd need to do is find another two; and you'd probably pay more for them than these 5  :o

It always happens, I placed an order for 7 rims this morning. As my word is my bond I can't reneg on the deal I've done. Bugger.
It is a screaming deal though five rims for the price of two, someone else's good luck.
