If you look into it you will find that no tire shop in the country will touch a Firestone RH-5 rim. The RH-5 has kill and maimed more tire shop employees that any other rim that ever existed.
Firestone quit manufacturing the RH-5 because of lawsuits and legal court battles.
I had 2 such rims on my Ford moto-tug loader. No tire store in my area would touch them...even to just let the air out and dismount the tires, so I could change the rims out to new rims with single locking ring.
Several years ago a local kid working at Les Schwab tires went out on the road for a service call...he took it upon him self to go against store policy and work on a Firestone RH-5 rim...the decision cost him his life.
Are those recommending using these rims . . . are you willing to accept the responsibility for someones life?
Go ask your tire store professional for their opinion.
Dance like no one is watching,
Sing like no one is listening,
Love like you've never been hurt.
