I went to my local Tire dealer (Les Schwab) and enquired about studded snow tires and rims. They said a 'Wild Country TXR' with studs is a good tire, but drew a blank on rims. Will rims off anything else fit? My local wrecker has a set of 5 RR 3-spoke rims for $300 but I'd rather have Disco rims on. Has anyone used the aforementioned tires in deep snow? Cheers, Paul.   Paul Kennington (P_kennington) New Member Username: P_kennington Post Number: 16 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Monday, October 06, 2003 - 08:02 pm:    Anyone? What is a fair price for a set of 4 used Disco 1 rims? How do RR rims look on a Disco? Cheers, Paul.   Phillip Perkinson (Rover4x4) Senior Member Username: Rover4x4 Post Number: 477 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, October 06, 2003 - 08:40 pm:    get some steel wheels   Sergei Rodionov (Uzbad) Member Username: Uzbad Post Number: 95 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Monday, October 06, 2003 - 09:04 pm:    Why you want to change rims anyway? Just make them swap tires without disposal of old ones. And if you heading into deep snow - look for decent M/T tires, snowchains, winch, lockers. As of rims - look around - you can get NATO style rims that fits for like 60$/wheel   Paul Kennington (P_kennington) New Member Username: P_kennington Post Number: 19 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Tuesday, October 07, 2003 - 09:18 am:    Hi Guys, I want seperate rims so I can change them when I want- and save waiting all day at the tire place to get them changed. Plus I hear it's hard on tires to be mounted and un mounted. I'm getting snow chains too- ice breakers for the front, heavy duty for the rear. Where do I find ex-NATO rims? Cheers, Paul.   Tom Fioretti (Tom_in_md) Member Username: Tom_in_md Post Number: 100 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, October 07, 2003 - 04:05 pm:    I got a set of NATO steelies from AB a few years ago. There's probably cheaper places out there.   carl seashore (Drcarl) New Member Username: Drcarl Post Number: 35 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Wednesday, October 08, 2003 - 09:16 am:    try DAP enterprises in vermont. they have a few styles for steel wheels and are great to deal with. http://www.dap-inc.com/homeframe.htm otherwise your local junk yard might do better.   Alexander W.Inglis (Blusky4u) New Member Username: Blusky4u Post Number: 39 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 11:29 pm:    still http://atlanticbritish.com they'll take care of you.   Ed Petrush (Exp) Member Username: Exp Post Number: 78 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Sunday, October 12, 2003 - 09:32 pm:    http://www.atlanticbritish.com/ProductList.asp?ListType=DETAIL&PartNumber=ANR559 3PMA
