Repairing 19 rims

SDE · Jan 27, 2015

I pulled the front tires off my rims last night. I was hoping that someone here could point me in the direction of some 19" donor rims. I know some vehicles have 19" rims , but did any cars or trucks have 19" steel doughnut spares that a person could buy cheap and cut up for repair material? A local yard has a pile of rims, but I think it would be easier to find one in the right vehicle than to dig thru the snow.
Thank you

Rims for what? There were different size hubs.

if the centers are good, and the rim is simply gone, just get a rim blank and true it and weld it in.

A lot depends on how it is bad and how bad it is. I have fixed many with a simple washer welded in the tube stem hole which is the most common area to go bad

Do yourself and your tire man a big favor, junk those 19" rims and get some 16"s. 5.50 X16's tires are far easier to find than those darn 19".

That's entirely dependent upon stock.

My local farm store sells both 4x19, and the common 16 " implement tires too.

I have a couple laying around. I guess that depends what they a for 9n/2n or 8n. My email is open

You have probably given me some very sound advise, But I am going to try and keep this tractor as original as possible.

When I searched for wheels last night, the repair rims did not show up. I will take some time to think over which option I will use. I do like this idea though.

If you can weld, and the 19" tires are reuse able, then a lil over 100$ and some rod gets you rolling

For some reason the site won't let me post a link. You will have to just copy and paste the address above.
