Original Glued in wheel info / help /recommendations /detailing 70 GT500

[bobboss351]

 WE have what appears to be 8 original 'Glued " in center wheels,,,, we like to select the best 4 of the 8 for judging and display,,, plan is on getting a set of reproductions for possible driving ect situations,,, so these wheels will be more for a static display,,

   Is there only one supplier,,,  there are some different codes and information location on the outer ring of the wheel and on the inside band of the rim.  does that make a difference in division 2 judging ?

Bob: the outer rims available arent the same  so they wouldnt be correct for a premiere  or a MCA Thorobread but they would be fine for the SAAC Concours where we allow quality reproduction parts.    The guy that does these does not have the capabilty to rivet them back,  he uses grade 8 cap screws. Theres one company that we sent some Magstars too but the cost was way up there - over double. and I wasnt impressed with the center restoration.  if you want the info  email me and Ill get it for you

  Jim,,
Thank you for the reply,,, really appericate the feedback, The 8 rims we have appear to have the correct rolled edge front of the rim and the rims are all glued in centers,, looking at the picture i just posted,,,,, another way to ask is , if the rims are all the same and ,, what is the info in the pictures ,, vendor code, date code
