yep, and still holding air on 30+ year old tires

trouble is a lot of deep pitted rust in the rings, grooves, everywhere..

concerned about the severe metal loss and weakening due to all of the rust..

still have them behind the garage.. might try to clean them up and re-examine eventually..

maybe before I buy the tires for it since the snap rings are 8 lug 15"

the one pictured above are 16.5 and came with 1 year old firestone commercial tires..

seller had just replaced tires year before truck engine died and went to salvage..

thankfully he kept his wheels and new tires..
