Rims for a 463

[85Txaggie]

Hi everyone, I am new to Bobcats and earth moving equipment in general. I picked up a 463 with bald tires. Put about 100 hours on it, and now the rubber is starting to peel from the tire casing. I was able to get new tires, but i am looking for a source for the rims. I am not sure the old rims can be used, mainly because it looks like someone injected RTV silicone adhesive through the valve stems. Is there another source for the rims besides the Bobcat dealer? I also wouldn't mind picking up a set of the wide-track rims and tires for stability when required. Thanks for your suggestions, Carey

The tires were foam filled to prevent flats. They could have been re capped if the casings were still good.
The only way to save the wheels after foam filling would be to cut the tire apart.
Tires shops selling skidsteer tires can often get wheels, just be sure they have the correct offset (stick out from the machine the correct amount) as well as the proper tire size and wheel bolt pattern.
