Default Re: M/T-RADER rims wanted

Eric,
Those are real Raders, not M/Ts. They have a single center raised ridge on each spoke. The M/Ts have 3 raised ridges (look at mine). Whichever ones you really want, I advise you to stay far away from ones with rusty chrome rims. Since the centers are aluminum, the only restoration path would be to separate each wheel, then rechrome the rims, then reunite the centers to the rims (with precision). I can only imagine all that would be over $200 per wheel.
I've seen nos ones go for around $200 ea, which in the equation, is really not too bad.

The old days of picking up a set of really good ones for $75. are gone. (sad to say)

Verne
