Can I change these to some other type of wheel like something with 10 lugs? If so how do I go about doing this? Is there an adapter or something? I can't figure out to post pics but I could email pics to someone to show you exactly what I have. They have a 9.00-20 tire on them. Thanks Ron | | | | | Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 63 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 63 | The easiest thing to do is get some 22.5 hoops for your dayton's. That is what I am going to do on my C50. They fit right on. I have seen them as cheap a $80 each in white.

Are hoops the rim with no center? I've seen tractor rims like that. Does any 22.5 inch hoop fit my Daytons? And yeah I like the look of the Daytons. Just would like to avoid killing myself with the split ring setup.
