[ROVERNET - UK] rostyle wheels

[Ron Morey]

Greetings, The standard steel rims and the Kelsey Hayes Rostyles are 
interchangeable. I did try drilling one of the rivets out on my wheels to 
replace the rim due to rust. I welded the hole. The rivets are very hard and 
I think there are 42 (approx) of them per rim. Certainly there were more 
than I cared to spend on drill bits and chroming or replacing.
Sorry to be a discourager but total replacement is a much better way to go.
Ron.
