tires and wheels Octavo 100+ bummer...

[Delia]

I was informed my Octavo 100+ wheels are toast. After media blasting, they found most of the steel lug inserts to be cracked...

I really don't want to go to the effort of pressing out the inserts, remachining new ones and putting them in.

Anybody want to swap all four for a 5.5" x 13" Cosmic or two???

(a slightly bummed-out)

Remachineing inserts is not that difficult, nor was it too expensive.

Had this done to my minilites years ago.

I'm going to take them to my machinist guy and see what he can do...

thanks,

I'm no expert on such things Jay, but I have known a few well-intentioned yet ham-handed mechanics who don't know "when-to-say-when" with an air wrench, if you catch my drift...

my parts car (as long as you gave me something to roll the wreck around on). I was curious if maybe mine might suffer from cracking as I've never pulled them off. The tires have been flat for 10 years, so I just got some Harbor Freight wheel dollies to roll it around on. I never really thought about inserts cracking before.
