I can't tell you much myself, except that the wheels might be rebuild-
able; if that is being considered, you could call Dayton Wheel Products,
the manufacturers (and rebuilders) of Dayton Wire Wheels. They can also
rebuild Dunlops, Borranis (sp?) or any wire wheels. Their phone number
is 937-461-1707.
They've been in business since 1916, if experience is a question.
Best regards,

(no financial interest in Dayton Wheel, just know they're here and able
to fix or replace whatever you need)
