Steeleng Wheels & Wanda A/T Tires Lots 'o pics
I picked up a 2005 Yamaha G22 (gas) last weekend (stock) for a project for my 12yr old boy and I. We live in the boonies up in Mid-Michigan with some acreage to play around on, along with some pretty good snow in the winter, so I wanted to go with a 6" lift and some A/T tires.
Being on a VERY limited budget, I had to get a good price on wheels & tires. I couldn't find hardly any info on wheels from Steeleng, and the tires they market with the name "Wanda" on them. (is that Chinese for Kenda..;), but the price was right and I ordered a set of 23x10.5-12's on 12x7 wheels from them on Ebay for $519 to the door including metric lug nuts & center caps. I realize you usually get what you pay for, and I am not expecting these to last a lifetime, but should work good enough for a couple years until he looses interest and moves on to cars & girls... Since I couldn't find hardly any info on the web about these wheels or tires, I thought I'd post some pics of them. The lift was just delivered yesterday, and the wheels/tires today, so I haven't had time to get them on the G22 yet. I ordered them Wednesday and they were delivered today (Friday). Made the trip from SC to MI very quickly. Before I ordered them, I sent Steeleng a message on Ebay at 12:30AM EST to double check that the wheels are offset for lifted carts, expecting to get a reply the next day or so....no, I got an answer back in about 10 minutes. I'm wondering if my message went through to someone's cell phone that woke them up Anyways, I thought I'd throw up some pics for anyone who wanted to see what they are. I will post a follow up on them later after I get the lift installed (another thread to follow on the AllSport A-arm 6" G22/Gmax lift kit install that I will post a link to when made) The FedX driver left these by my garage door: They were VERY well wrapped in stretch wrap, taped cardboard completely covering wheels/tires, then more stretch wrap. Two tires/pack. (I ordered some $1200 wheels for my Vette last year that were shipped in a plain cardboard box and I had to re-polish the aluminum. I wish they would have been wrapped like this....) Time will tell if the tires are any good, but the wheels look fine. The way they packaged them up for shipment couldn't have been better, they answered my question at midnight, and I ordered them on a Wednesday and got them on Friday for $519. So far, so good. Will post a follow-up after I get them on. |

Never heard of the brand but look good to me, only thing you have to worry about
if they are out of round, you will know when you get them installed and spin'em. |

Re: Steeleng Wheels & Wanda A/T Tires Lots 'o pics
I have the same rims and tires for my cart and have had no major issue at all with them. The only issue that I had was installing the front caps after wheel was installed. They snap in and I'm guessing I wasn't holding my mouth right. Tires were round for the most part...played with the air pressure and all is good. Here are some pics of my cart to give you an idea what they look like installed. Don't forget that they are directional tires ....you should have 2 rights and 2 lefts.

Re: Steeleng Wheels & Wanda A/T Tires Lots 'o pics
I was on a very LIMITED BUDGET when I started on my cart build. My Ez-Go went from a hunting cart to a street cruiser for the family. I really understand your situation and can clearly see where money needs to be saved on certain things. The only thing that I didn't go cheap on were the electronics on the cart but got VERY good deals from the site sponsors.
The color combos were not my idea so I have to give credit to the credit card boss. I originally had chromes rims on the cart and she wanted the machined look....so off they went. The paint job was also her idea - WoW! I'm seeing a pattern here. |
