steel wheel lug rims

Bob And · Mar 16, 2009

Just got done painting my 10-20 and would like to put rims over the lugs on the rear steel wheels. I'm wondering what others have used for the steel for this. Would 3/16 x 4" be heavy enough or should I go with 1/4"? Also have any of you tried cutting the tread off of old rubber tires and putting that over the lugs? Hate to spend a lot of time doing that and then find out the rubber doesn't hold up or something. Or, is there a better way altogether. Thanks for your help again.

Even 3/8 will bend to junk in a short time unless made fron expensive alloy steel. 1/2 inch is OK. Search the Archives for Steel Wheel Bands. JimN
