They do indeed appear genuine, the colour is misleading since by now they should be rust coloured.

Is it only the genuine wheels that have the ANR 4583 Tubeless (for instance) stamped on them? Just wondering if a set offered to me are real or the Wolf style.

A few photos of a little lockdown project that I recently completed.

Genuine Wolf wheels fitted with BF Goodrich tyres. I fitted linger studs and wrington engineering closed end wheel nuts too.

As far as I know only genuine, I've never seen forgeries.

Because the nave plate on a wolf wheel is thicker.

Longer studs required on this example.

There were 3 threads showing on the wheel nut which made me feel
Uncomfortable.

Fitted the longer studs and then realised they were too long for the closed nuts. Soooo is to remove them all again and cut them short!!

Despite it feeling completely wrong, LR actually sold 130's like this when they came with Wolf wheels as standard, so it's not a problem. Darren

Are you referring to the short studs?

My 2013 110 came on short studs when I optioned the heavy duty wheels with off road tyres.

My 110 had Wolf wheels and the studs were short. However the studs on this 1985 90 were very short. I reckon there were 3 or 4 threads on the nut exposed.....considerably more than any previous stud I have seen. I have run short studs for years but this just felt a little bit too risky for my liking.
