[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 87793, member: 3290"] Here is the link: [URL='https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=54&frmView=ShowPost&PostID=31091']http://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=54&frmView=ShowPost&PostID=31091[/URL] Just to give you an update on these, the lighter 2 rims have both failed. The lug nuts eventually pulled through the rim dishes. If you are going to attempt to build your own, get rims with 11 gauge dishes i.e. Jacobsen rims, etc. Also, Bobcat has options on wheel rims. If your parts guy looks up the rim part number for a 440b, the price will be horrendous. Have him check pricing on the same rim for a 453, 463, or an S70. While they might look a little different they will all fit. When my rims failed, I ended up going with new ones from Bobcat. They are about $100 (CAD) a piece. Not super cheap, but when you need a rim.... Also, a little tidbit of information, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you have a failed wheel and you need to get running quickly, a 12”, 5-bolt trailer wheel will fit in a pinch.
