Scrap them or resell them, these wheels do not have anywhere near the load rating for a Fourtrak, they are not strong enough to cope with loadings on road, and certainly not for off road.

Problems come mainly when used off road, as the angles and terrain encountered by Fourtrak's place extreme loadings on the outer edge of the rim. Several cases have been recorded of these wheels cracking up, and failing. Braking is another major concern, some cases have been recorded of these wheels letting go under emergency braking.

Insurers will not cover you if you fit these wheels and cause an accident, they are now wise to this modification, and all major insurance companies have this information logged on their computer networks.
