Welcome,Louis C.! your '54 should have three-piece ,(safe) rims. Even if you have the dreaded "widow-makers",you should be O.K.,if you're just removing the wheels. To be totally safe,you could thread a log chain through two opposing hand holes, and bring the (hook) ends around the diameter,(center) of the tire,and use a "binder",to keep the chain tight against the tire and rim. Hope this helps.
