...the best finish for the old rims. non wire wheels....
i could go the powder coating way. the powder coating gets all inside the
wheel and around the bead area. good, bad, indifferent?
what is the abrasion resistance of powder coatings?
I'm not sure, but it's awfully darned durable, and...
at $35.00 a rim it does not seem too bad a price.
That seems VERY reasonable!
oh yes, and i haven't looked yet, but is my 58 TR3 tubes or tubeless?
Tubeless tires should be just fine. Since my TR3A survived years of running
tubeless Dunlop Gold Seal bias-ply tires ("oversize" at that: 6.85 x 15!) many
years ago, I'm sure modern tubeless radials will work just as well.
