Good morning Can I weld a Belshe Rim? It's cracking around the circumstances of the bolt pattern. Belshe won't replace it as it seems like a defect in the rim, and they don't sell to the public. They send you to Vermeer, and the they mark it up...of course. Or does any one know of a good alternative to a Belshe Rim? It's a 10 bolt rim Thanks
Don't weld it. Belshe doesn't make its own rims. Should be a number stamped in the rim somewhere. Saying a rim is a "10 bolt rim" means nothing. There's probably 200 different rims in "10 bolt". Lets start with a picture and what size tires on on the trailer. You're going to have to give up some more info and get out a tape measure. And then likely someone can point you in the right direction. Should be able to find the rim online, or at least get a part number and a truck or equipment place can order one. Don't weld it.
It's about diameter & offset and only so many popular diameters & offsets. * Any truck tire shop can come up with a wheel. * AI.
Belshe doesn't sell to the public. They make you go through a dealer. 10 bolts. 235 / 75 / 17.5
Eeehhhh.
Not the tire size, the rim details, as requested in post #2
With the amount of rust on that rim whats the rest of the rig look like. Probably these.
How old is the rim and what is it on? Judging by the significant amount of rust I'd guess it's several years old and way past any warranty period. Did the nuts come loose at some point? Have seen that before. Also how much weight was on the rim? As far as the rim, just replace it. Maybe go to a more common size tire and stronger rim.
