The 40 spoke Kelsey wires are available in 4.5" width. Not common but easily spotted. That size was intended for the 650 tires optional on commercials. I know the guys out in East Bum.... are thinking they never see them. When 16"s were cool some years ago, all kinds of sizes were squeezed into the 4" wide wheels. Not really to the spec of the tires but they got away with it. Being a cool guy myself, I'm going to 18" '32 wheels with narrow tires these days. Going with the trend! Good Luck: Fred A
