Rim rims rims...

[fuckwit]

Yes, sets go for more. I have 12 x real deal 569203 and 5 x psuedo 569203 and a few 569204s in my stash, and I picked most of them up one or two at a time, over the last 4-5 years when it was far easier and the 'mass' was confused by what-was-what and Vass was selling 130 rims as one ton & FC rims (yeah right...). Sellers often did not knwo what they were selling. Even then, I paid £150 for a proper 569203 once but that was because I had three at the time and that fourth rim was to make my first set. I woz 'ungry for it. That was a lot then, now that sort of price seems to be the going rate.

After I'd got enough of my own I wrote that thread.

Sorry, mine are not for sale. To be fair, as I said this current set had decent tyres too, and as Dan says, he definitley knew waht he was selling!

I know where there's a set of 5 wrapped in near new Continentals for sale.

Just to make the point about auctions, here are two examples of the 130 (127?) rim being sold as the "real deal" FC/1-Ton rim.

This first one at least shows photos which allow those in the know to ID the rim as the 130 type.

This however is slightly more confusing, as the auction uses a graphic rather than a photo, and then describes the rim as FC 1-Ton 130...so which is it? The part number given is for the 130 type, and that is not worth £220 a rim.

I am in no way claiming that anyone is out to deceive with any of these auctions, I think they are genuine cases of folks just not knowing the differences. The 130 rim is hardly rare,there are thousands of them coming out as ex-MOD stock. 569304 are rare but do turn up from time to time, 569203...well we all know that one. Kind of daft how a tiny difference in offset of less then the width of a little finger can make such a difference on price.

Is that something I should be interested in?

Rim wise there's already 5 with the truck, I have a better plan for tyres...

At this stage in the game get whatever you can find if you are talking about 900x16s...

Does anyone have problems with running tubeless tyres with tubes?
