I need a couple of decent ones, This is prolly not the proper place to post a want add but I was actually wondering if any of the restoration type places are sitting on piles of them.

I just went to put new tires on Dads old A and the insides of the rims are too rotten for my taste. Though about fixing them for about 5 min then decided that was WAY too much work.

Im looking for original stuff. I just dont know anyone in the "A world". Im in MN.

Where did you get your rims?

What is too rotten? Rim liners will help to prevent tube abrasion. Even duct tape will work.

Looks like it was sand blasted ~40 years ago, paint is holding up inside and out but there is thin metal from pitting in the center and there are holes on the inside of the bead that dont look like something I want to put $170 tires on.

Just wondering if there is a good source for original rims?
