WANTED:Firestone demountable rims

Post by JSteele » Mon Dec 18, 2023 1:10 pm

I'm looking for a couple of 30X3 1/2 Firestone demountable cincher rims. They are held in place by a triangular shaped ring and lugs. Thank you to ever post these pictures earlier.

I have nos Firestone rims and they don’t look anything like that.
Firestone rims have a tit the valve stem goes through and that fits in a cup on the fello.
Yes they have triangular lugs . But the tit and cup keep them from turning on the fello.

Might these be for the 5 lug accessory Firestone wheels. Certainly not Firestone rims made for Ford.

I'm still looking for a couple of 30X3 1/2 Firestone demountable cincher rims. The pictures above label them as Type A, but believe they are actually Type F.
