Vintage Wheels

[427TJ]

I've used rubber as well as metal stems on both sets of my TT's and had no problems. Ran them tubeless. Yeah, you gotta' check the tire pressure but you gotta' do that anyway. I don't recall any obvious leak/seep problems. Make sure the stem holes don't have any burrs or hairline stress cracks.

You should be able to get some normal looking bolt thru crome stems...

Thanks for the help on this. Tires mounted without tubes and no problem holding air pressure.

Bill,

Show us a picture with the tire mounted on the wheel.

Here's the picture. Anyone know how to keep these clean? The center section of these appear to be bare metal? Is that the way they came originally? Also, what is the correct hardware for mounting the center caps? Thanks for the help.

OK another try on the picture.

I use Simple Green on all my wheels. Just a light spray and work it with a soft bristle brush if needed. I use Nevr-Dull wadding in a can to keep the polished area bright. For the caps I use stainless 8-32 straight slot screws with stainless flat washers on the center caps and only tight enough to hold the caps. Don't want to crack a cap ear or strip out a hole.

These two-piece wheels have a beautiful chrome finish, and would look great on any vehicle, be it vintage or new.

know its getting a little nutty when you worry about what the valve stems look like.
