Default Re: Wide 5 Artillery Wheels

i had no end of trouble trying to find someone that could balance wide 5s Ended up using 2mm beads was skeptical to start with but they work and i can rotate tyres with no need to re balance.

If I can't find a hub to sacrifice, I may try the bead thing, or the speedway adapter. Thanks tubman and duce lover

If you did find a hub the spindle of the machine would have to fit thru the hole even if you removed the bearing races.

one of the nicest things about converting the wheel bolt pattern to 3 on 4 1/2 is : billions of inexpensive wheels.

That looks like a very nice wheel, with bonus Chrome Trim Ring.
