Today it's still about 85% looks good runs good the trouble is the wheels may rust from the inside out,wont know till you take em apart. Mine have some weather cracking not much about 20 yrs old. Have learned that if they say nylon will hump worse after sitting and last better even if they don't look so good cause the nylon wont rot out. To answer your question keep those wheels for looks and cause they're cheap and the truck tire shops will work em. However don't trust a 70 yr. old wheel,chain it, cage it,clip-on air hose from a distance, just don't take chances with it.
