Harris,
During a concourse judging at SpriteRush a discussion evolved
concerning vented bugeye wheels. It seems that all vented wheels
are not alike. The very early ones had the round holes located
symetrically about the welding points that hold the hub to the rim.
Apparently, it was determined that this weakened the wheel. Later
vented wheels located the round vent holes off center from the
welding points.
BTW, I have a wheel for you if you want but it has been painted
black and will need some cleaning up. I think it is the later type.

Listers,
While walking around my Bugeye last night I noticed I have three solid and
one vented wheels. "No problem," I thought, since I have some wheels
stacked in the backyard from my last Bugeye. Unfortunately I only have 2
vented wheels there. So, I have three of each type. If anyone has a
vented wheel they are willing to part with, please let me know its
condition and your asking price!
Thanks,
Harris
