Riveted wheels
on a 68 burb. Original I believe. Anyone know anything about them? Safe? Rare? (prolly not). Just wondering should I keep em? I will if they are safe for a daily driver.

Re: Riveted wheels
Probably safe if they aren't badly rusted, but I don't know about original. I thought rivets were finished with once tubeless tires became common. Do they have humps or clips to retain the center caps?

Re: Riveted wheels
probably not the safest. At work we are required to not only replace them whenever get them in, but we are required to cut the rim so it can't be pulled out of the scrapyard and reused. I wouldn't hesitate to use them on a trailer or show only trailer queen, but not a daily driver.
