Hello all,
I hope you were able to find a swimming hole or someplace cool during this current heat wave.
I'm looking for a 19" solid disc wheel.
If you have one you can part with, please contact me.

Hi Wayne,
Can't help you with the rim but I had a 1930 Cadillac on disc wheels here in England and one of the rims split whilst driving once, instantly deflating the tyre, an exiting event!
I have attached a picture. On inspection all the other rims had split at some time and had a welded repair. This is just to advise you of what happened to me, I had the impression that it was too sharp a bend in the rim and failed with age.

A similar thing happened to a V16 wheel down here whilst on a run.

Split on the inside, and as it was on the rear, it wasn't felt till it destroyed itself when the leaf spring got in the way.
