1979 K30 Pile of Hillbilly Crap.

Nice. I might just have to pay the $200 for shipping....it would cost more in gas for me to drive and get them :D
 
I was gonna do rock rings, PVC's, but never really thought about the inner rim stiffener too. Might be worth it for the peace of mind.
Maybe but Andy told me that a full 90% of the damage that he has seen is the outer. Sure, peace of mind, but maybe overkill.

Good to hear, that would save $200 without the stiffener. I think I will go that route too :D.

Why go with the half ring? Why not just get a full rock ring? Is it just you don't like the look of a full rock ring?
 
I am not in a hurry John.

I'll probably pick up a set of plain rock rings for mine as well. I'm as concerned about buggering up the threads on the wheel bolt studs sliding sideways into a rock as I am damaging the lip of the wheel. They stick out quite a ways.

they are heavy and I am a pussy.

I've seen him drive. Half ring is more than enough.:whistle:

That's all I will do. Half should give the rim all the stiffness it needs. Heck one wheel/tire/pvc insert is already 132 lbs. Much heavier and my old 6.2 won't be able to turn them.
 
get a little more traction and I am going to just unhook the accelerator pedal and idle up everything.
 
I need a set of non recentered ones for Wade's rig. Maybe he would split the cost of fuel with you John.

Yes. Two of them. Do you have extras? I'll take them if you do.
