Good evening to you

Having just had our 5th puncture in 3 years (2 nails, 1 sidewall puncturing object(unidentified!) and 2 valve/to tube joint failures), I would like to consider exchanging my current tubed stainless steel wire wheels for tubeless stainless steel wheels.

I have a 1999 4/4 2-seater with an 1800 Zetec engine.

Could any of you suggest a company who would be willing to exchange my 5 "tubed" Stainless Steel wire wheels for tubeless ones. If you have an idea of cost I would be most grateful.

I have been in touch with MWS Slough who quoted £392.54 per SS wheel including VAT and swapping over the tyres. However, I'm not sure whether you can use a tubed tyre as a tubeless one. MWS would not accept my current wire wheels in a "part exchange". Is this cost "par for the course"?

Your help/advice would be gratefully received.

Alternatively, is it possible to "coat" the inside of my current wire wheels to take tubeless tyres?
