[FC] Re: [FC]was battery now wheels...

[Ron]

These are the "snowflake" or "honeycomb" wheels used in the 70's.  I have 
found them at scrap yards and swap meets for as low as $20 each.  They then 
need a laborious cleaning, polishing and painting but I receive many 
compliments on them an use them on my Rampside and on my '66 sedan.  They 
are apparently very strong as they almost always run true.
