Radials on original 1953 plymouth rims

I think you can purchase the needed style valve stems from either a tire shop or a truck place.  Several people are running radials on original style rims.  Be sure to check the rivets joining the wheel center and outer......wire brush the inside of rim for smoothness where tire contacts it....paint the inside of the rim so it can act as a sealer.  There have been some previous posts on this topic.  I use radial tubes in my tires as I dont trust my wire wheels to not leak.  Have had no problems with that system.  The radials definitely improve handling......just harder to turn at low speeds like parking.
