If you have the original 8 inch kitfox rims then they are Douglas wheels
6061 aluminum wheels welded together in the middle . Blue lable .125
thick .
The rims are definitely steel and are supplied in the Kit. Tony that built my plane built two. The first he forced landed in tiger country due to Auminium wing tanks splitting in flight. He then threatened to sue the factory and I'm told they gave him a new kit but I'm not sure if it was a complete Kit or partial kit. So the wheels may have been supplied with the first kit or second I don't know but I do know they were supplied by the factory. This has come up before and it appears that yes there were aluminium wheels but there were also the steel wheels.
