I just bought a set of 5 original 16" wheels for my '57 Chevy. One of the rims has a few good size dents- the rest need to be cleaned up but look "ok" to my untrained eye. I found some previous threads on this topic, but still have a few questions:
1. obviously the one will have to be repaired, but should I check the balance on all these wheels, or have them all straightened and or "trued"? or can I just throw them on the truck?
2. the wheels are riveted, does this automatically exclude tubeless tires?
Lastly, I plan to have these wheels powdercoated- but I don't know the color the truck will eventually be so...
3.) Were all stock wheels painted to match the truck in '57? Is there a "default" stock wheel color?
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
