Defender Steel Wheels - Land Rovers Only

Ex_MOD_110 · 10-01-2006, 10:06 AM

I just removed the steel wheels from the 110 to clean some of the layers of paint off before I fit new tires. When the tires came off I seen that they had tubes in them. Upon more careful inspection of the wheels I noticed that one wheel has the center section welded to the outer ring. The other 3 wheels have a large rivet attaching the centre to the outer ring. My question is, will these wheels hold air or will they need a tube. I hope everyone can understand what i mean from my explanation.

Thanks

Series rims are rivetted and will not hold air so tubes are required. later 90/110 rims although look the same they are welded so no tubes required.

I've run tubless on Series rims with no problems.

Wolf wheels came in two styles, one for tubless, one for tubes. I don't know the part numbers for them off hand, but I have tubless on both sets of my wolfs and have had no issues. I'll try to remember to look for the PN tonight.
