Checking Safety of Old Rims
Hello All,
What are the tell-tale signs that an old steel rim is not safe and should not be restored? I have taken some rims to local tyre places and the first thing they see is a rusty rim. It is condemned straight away. I intend on getting some old rims sandblasted for rust, primed and have a number of coats of paint applied to them. Then taking it to the local tyre mob and seeing if they will fit a new 8.25 x R20, However, I would like to be able to make a decision whether doing a lot of work on a rim is not worth it because the rim is unsafe to use. Kind regards Lionel
