austinsailor Posted November 1, 2018 Report Posted November 1, 2018 Just got my wire wheels back from the powder coater. I think they’ll look pretty darn good on my 36 Airflow. 4 1 Quote

DJ194950 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Posted November 1, 2018 Using tubes? Or going to seal them somehow and run topless, I mean tubeless! ? DJ Quote
austinsailor Posted November 2, 2018 Author Report Posted November 2, 2018 It'll be tubes. Not sure what to use for a flap. Thought about a few wraps of duck tape. A friend tells me he's done it and it works fine until the first time you take a tire off,then it's a mess. Quote

Don't have any. Might have to try aluminum spinning again. It's been 55 years, surely Ican remember how. Quote
allbizz49 Posted November 2, 2018 Report Posted November 2, 2018 Rimstrips for a bicycle wheel will work. Or cut an old tube apart, wrap it tight around the wheel and tape the end. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted November 2, 2018 Report Posted November 2, 2018 They look nice. I'd cut the paint off the lug bolt hole bevels though so as to prevent the PC paint from peeling away from the rims upon tightening lug bolts. Quote
austinsailor Posted November 2, 2018 Author Report Posted November 2, 2018 No bevels, flat like a mag wheel. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted November 2, 2018 Report Posted November 2, 2018 I've seen that peeling issue.... ugly when it happens and then the rust.? Quote
