I received a set of vintage "jelly bean" wheels today...so-called because of the shape of the cutouts. They're a little scratched up, but the tires appear to have decent tread left. Check them out:
Here you can see the scratches around the rim:
And here's a close up of how much tread is left:
Obviously I'll eventually upgrade to ball-bearings if I decide to use these wheels for running. For now though, my intention is to take them apart, scrub the nylon parts, and give them a peroxide bath to whiten them up a bit. Then they may become display wheels. We'll see!
I have found that this site is very informative, interesting and very well written. keep up the nice high quality writing. 1982 California The Golden State License Plate
