Thanks Frank, just to put forth my own opinion and at this point that is all it really is, I would think that any type of wheel that was in production for thirty to fourty plus years would have to be safe if and this is the important part they were properly maintained and procedure was followed during mounting. This is an issue that is still " a far piece down the road on our restoration", and as such not an immediate problem. One other opinion I will put forth the Tire Shop Managers and tire monkeys opinion at this point I relate to the Parts store person opinion when they tell me "Its not in my computer so it does not exist".
