VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1912-1928 1928 Wheel Rims

I have a 1928 chassis I am building. I need 4 or 5 wheel rims. the tire size is 440/450 by 21 inches. The top of the rim measures 3 and 3/8 inches, and the bottom measures 2 and 1/2 inches. I also need to locate a trunk deck and locking latch for the bottom.

Hopefully someone on here will have some extra rims that you can acquire. You may also want to put a want ad in the Generator & Distributor.

There are some used rims for sale on eBay, but for the money they are asking, you may be better off buying reproduction rims. I purchased five 21" split rims from Vintage Rims Australia. In bare steel, they were $910 shipped to Ohio. They're quality rims and I've been very happy with them.

Universal Vintage Tires also offers rims, but they do not have rim locks attached. You would have to weld them on yourself.
