wheel identity help please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have six of them myself. I stripped the tires and tubes, and put the wheels in the back of my storage shed. The only people I know that would be the slightest bit interested in them would be a die-hard restorer. The shops in my area won't even work on them without a cage to protect the mech. It seemed a shame to trash them to me, but they're surely not very useful in today's market.

What are you going to replace them with?

if you put them in the garden you can grow 9 tomatoe plants in the sping thats the most you'll get out of them

You can also bury them in the ground and use them for a fire pit. Split rims aren't safe to inflate unless you have a cage. I'd be affraid to sell them because of the liability involved. If one blew off the ring and killed or injured the person you sold it to or someone else, just think of the law suit that would follow. They'd claim that you knowingly sold them a defective and unsafe rim. Scrap them.
