dannyi Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Ok guys, I should know the answer to this but have to admit I'm not sure. While most wheels have rim beads, I have some that don't. Do the wheels without the bead need trim/beauty rings or maybe a certain kind of tire? I really enjoy casting and would like to offer a few vintage style wheels that I have, but I need to learn more about them. As always I appreciate any help or knowledge you folks would like to pass along......thanks again...
Longbox55 Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 It's just like 1:1 wheels, some have a lip on the od of the wheel, some dont. Then there's some that even have a lip on the inside, but not on the outside. It's pretty much a cosmetic thing. BTW, the wheels without the lips or only a lip on one side can be a real bear to balance properly. Takes plenty of patience and experience to get them right, especially at high speed.
