Wheel components
The revolutionary Double Gutter Service (DGS) Series is a RIMEX TSR wheel/rim assembly with two bead bands, two side rings, one two-piece lock ring and one standard lock ring. The DGS was developed as a position-sensitive outer dual so the inside tire could be easily mounted/demounted without removing the outer wheel/rim base. It is designed with safety and time savings in mind — tire changes are completed in a fraction of the time. RIMEX DGS wheels can be installed to haul truck outer dual positions without upgrading the inner dual wheels. Now the inner dual tires can be changed without removing the outer dual.
