Why the outrageous price for a STEEl rim from Kubota? 23 x 8:50 -12 is $268.12. Anyone know where to get one used/have one? Edge where bead meets rim are bent in some spots and slowly leaking down. Fixable by a good truck tire service or put a tube in it?
B20 front rims?

Cool,thanks for replying.If the rim is good other than the bent bead area, yea just tube it!
Since you have to take the tire off anyway, you might as well whack the rim a few times to un-bend the damaged area. Might need to apply a flame wrench to soften it a bit first. Mild steel is pretty forgiving of such actions. I did that to some badly damaged Farmall M rims and you can barely tell anything ever happened.
Wholegoods (not Parts) prices for a 23x8:50-12 rim with tire for a B20 were $139 to $180 in 2013. Price depended on type of tire. I don't know if they are still available.
