Hi mrsafety
I ended up buying three rims, 2 for the steer axle and a spare, for just over $750.
I am very happy with the result and feel much safer with the wider tyres on the steer. I have been paranoid about steer tyres since my brother blew one and ended up losing his leg in the resulting crash into a tree.
I'm sure Wayne at Oceanic will be able to help you out.
Below is the before and after pics

Hi Paul
Could be a bit in my mind but I feel it drives better and is easier to keep in a straight line.
I like the fact that the pressure doesn't build up like it was too.
Wish I had done it years ago.
Cheers

Looks great. It appears to have a large wheel weight on it for a Michelin tyre.

That new setup looks great Ash! Pricing is pretty reasonable too I might add.
Given the price and availability of R22.5 tyres, it makes it slightly less painful to make the jump over form R20 splits.
Thanks again for the info Ash, safe travels.

Hi Cobba
It does have a bit of weight but I guess it was needed. Certainly a lot less than the 500g I had on the old rim
