Aren't ROH & Tasman 2 separate manufacturers of alloy wheels. You either have a set of Tasmans or a set of ROHs.
CHOPPER !!

Never had an issue with mine nor have they ever missed being passed by a RW, it could be true though but then again this would mean simmon three piece wheels should be banned too... , but I do not see this happenign in a hurry...AND ... If my memory serves me correct.. are banned and illegal...have been for years...had a tendency to pull the rivets on the alloy centre and part company...But I am sure Chopper can confirm.. or my daydream situation has returned again..

Dont got there....Simmons are held on by more than 10 rivets..2 in each five spokes......But we will all immediately now forget a certain Channel 9 Camaro blowing a rim and ending up on its roof at Bathurst. That certainly hurt sales for a very long time. Wait until Chopper is back from SA. He will shed more light on them.

I recall this too! Was something to do with the (mag)nesium alloy (they were magnesium alloy rather than aluminium) reacting to dogs pissing on them! TRUE! (From my memory anyway) I had them on my EH 30yrs ago with no prob. There were a lot recalled and the stigma from the recall put them out of business, again from memory. They would be gold to have on a show car but I wouldn't drive them over 80kph, like a spacesaver spare.
Chopper! Chopper! Chopper! Oui! Oui! Oui!

Why not. I know they are held on by more than 10 rivets but that still does not mean that my rx3 did nto disintergate 3 rims due to the sections seperating. I would never run a simmon on my car ever again. Trust me tazmans are tame compared. Again I have never had issues with my tasmans but again I do nto have them anymore as they went with the car... :(OLD64,

Heres some pics. I hope we are all talking about the same wheels mine are 14"s
Although not too clear thanks to my dirty wheels, there are in fact welds, I was always of the thought that the centres are also cast steel, If not then there must be a uncommon welding technique that might have been used to do it. Maybe some of our professional welders out there can shed some light.

i think you may be talking about two different types of wheels, one with alloy centers rivited and one with pressed steel welded.Contrary to popular opinion I knew my memory served me correct that the Tasman Wheels on my LX are welded.
there is exotic forms of welding for ferrous to non-ferrous metals but is mostly left to big budget guys such as NASA and the military.
not a job the average MIG can handle.

So its probably safe to assume that not all Tasman wheels are bad and that only the riveted wheels can be considered dangerous?

If you can get them, I would and then put them up for sale on the FE/FC forum, those guys love them and will pay for them. However if they have original centre caps PM me as I will pay for them!
