Done!" rollbar is on here somewhere, 22 dia tube from memory, m6 droplinks, search for "boot mounted arb" internationally known as "big" swede |

So it seems they are fit for road use strength wise? i know alot of the road wheels on quads are no good offroas as they buckle.... now the extra weight of a car and the pothole issue? |

G13B I also saw you have a Honda Monkey (motorcycle) in your garage. If you look for more about the manufacturer Wuyi Jiaxin Wheel Co., Ltd.you'll find they also produce wheels for those bikes. Very interesting Gianni Potenza also offers stuff for Honda Monkeys... |

I wouldnt personally trust a wheel that's designed for something that pootles about at 10mph on a road going car. If it's not rated for road use it shouldnt be used. I also don't believe in using the cheapest tyres possible going off on a slight tangent.

Has there been any updates on the whole "golf cart wheels" debate now that a few people have used them, i.e. does anyone know of any bad experiences from using them? |

It's the same as tubing your old mag minilites because they are as porous as pumice. STOP IT. What is the issue with using inner tubes on old minilites? I've not heard this before is all. Also, would you class split rims as toy wheels? They aren't necessarily safety checked etc so surely could be as dangerous? |

He neglects to realise this is a forum full of engineers not idiots. We actually consider the facts before making a judgement.

Oh and peoples argument against tubes are basically that they are more at risk of a blow out. If they go pop all the air will escape out the valve hole.. Atleast thatsbknown argument I've heard! Again it's a load of tosh dreamt up by people who have seen one tube go pop and have magically decided that it must've because tubes are dangerous. Use them properly and safely and they are just fine. |

Story I heard about tubes in tyres not designed for it, is the inner face of the tyre is quite abrasive. This can cause excess friction between the tyre and the tube causing failure. A motorsport company I have dealt with before simply used talk between the two in their historic car (spoked wheels whihc dont seal with modern tyres required tubes) David. |

I think the point being raised above is about porosity associated with older magnesium wheels and using tubes to keep them holding air. This is potentially dangerous but I think common sense would prevail with most people (as said, there is a lot of engineers on this forum) and this would not happen. I think the tube argument has positives and negative on either side. I used to fit tubes to certain cars (a lot of classics and agricultural vehicles) which was fine and I think that if you get a puncture it will go flat no faster with a tube at the same rate as if you got a sidewall split or blowout. There is two sides, I would tend to always run tubeless but I think done professionally tubes are fine. |

IIRC mag wheels can go brittle with age. On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:
