Yes - especially since they were &quot;free&quot;.

Dad had a friend that worked for the Grand Trunk Railroad. When they first came out Dad mentioned to Bernard that he really liked the look of these &quot;rally wheels&quot;. Within a few days Bernard was coming up the driveway with two wheels under each arm. No questions were asked.

I still have them, on a shelf in the back garage (two of the wheels are a riveted construction). They are still black.
