Eddie, Wow, actually it's my fault, I did not mean to open up such a can of worms with my comments. As far as I am concerned, unless one is fanatic about having an "Original" Silver Streak, they should replace the original split rims with something more modern. Thanks for your wealth of information about the rims, I have had no personal experience with them for more than 30-35 years. I called my tire guy, who is one of those who can get "something to fit anything". Wade never likes to say it can't be done, but in all fairness his first suggestion was to junk the old split rims. Some of the old farmers around here trade with him just because he can still keep their "OLD" "stuff" in the field. People are funny, some of these farm types will spend more on keeping old trailers in the field, than just replacing the entire trailer, or the axles, wheels, etc. and moving on.
