The fluid in the tires ate away at the valve stem holes on my D17. They are 28" rims, 13" wide. The tires on them are 16.9X28. Anyone have any decent ones? I'm in central Iowa. Thanks!

Kerry, those are not hard to fix. I fixed mine on a D17 by cutting a section out of another old rim and fitting the section to my rims. Takes a little time, but a 110V wire welder will weld them in. With the new section in place, I just drilled a new hole. I ground the welds down smooth, filled the little pits with bondo, and painted them. You really have to look to find the repairs. You probably found new whels are about $300 ea.

I have 2 at zip 56039. 1 is decent and useable, but certainly not new, and the other shouldn't be used, but about 75% of it could be used for patching other rims. They are at the tire repair shop right now, but I'll get them home tomorrow & can send you some pictures. Send me a private message; I'm sure we can make an acceptable deal.

Kerry if you have 16.9 tires you should run a 15" wide rim to get the most out of your tires. 13 " is to narrow. Tony

Thanks for the input and offers, guys. There is a place locally that will take a new blank wheel and remove my power adjust rails off my wheels, weld them on the new wheels, paint them, ready to go for $225 each. That's what I'm leaning towards now. It'd save a lot of freight or driving. And scrounging up an old wheel to cut up for a patch.
Your thoughts?

Sounds like a good idea to me.
I need to see if there is anyplace in southern Kansas that does this to rims.

Kerry, just curious, where abouts are you? When I had my wheels sandblasted, I went to Altoona to a guy named Pinkerton. He told me he knew a guy who repaired them. I never asked since I did my own, but he claimed the guy was reasonable. Might be able to get a chunk of a wheel from Colfax Tractor parts in Colfax.

Brian...I was given the name of Hewett Tire in Monroe. The guy there said he does these all the time. There is enough rust and scale around the beads, I really don't want to take chances. Even if I patched them up, I'd still have to get them sandblasted and painted. It all adds up. I'm willing to pay a little to get new wheels, ready to mount and go.
