Hi Robert,

Is the tyre a 900-16 runflat, marked RF ? Looks like it could be a Ferret wheel if so.

Cliff,

You obviously have not seen the size of the rabbits up Richard's way

Default 18's??

I was wondering that to Graeme. I thought if they were 18's, then that rim may be off a "lend lease" Ford.

Apparently they had a split rim (refered to as a 'Desert rim') that was much heavier in design, of similar robustness to a 16" or 20" Blitz rim.

Hi Graeme and Tony the rims are 16" Kevin was trying to get a tire off one to put on the dodge he ended up using a spare for his toyota. The next time I go past we will see if my bead breaker will move the rim.
Kevin has 5 rims and they are on the market I'll get photos on Friday. Ross told him the British tyres would be too loose on the dodge rims.
