Hi Tim,

The four on the truck & spare are "regular rims" with new tubeless tires.
The PO had 2 other ones that he gave me, but they have 7.50 x 17 tires (no
good) on rims with some type of separate ring.
Whether this is the proverbial "split ring" I can't tell you.
The rims are rusty but if you or someone else wants them, come and get it.
Probably not worth shipping
                                                                 
                                                                 
                                                                 



Hi, Mike

Do you have "Lock-Ring" type wheels?

My '59 3600 has one 7.50x17 and one 7.50x17.5.  The 17.5 is on a 17" wheel.
I recently bought two new 7.50x17 tires and am having a couple of 17"
lock-ring wheels powder coated, for the front.


My '57 3609 has 8x17.5 and they are not split rims.
