Spend a few bucks and have it blasted. All a wire wheel really does is sorta slick up the surface, but any rust you want to get rid of is still...
That tire is made for use on 2 piece wheels. That it is a tube type and uses a flap is the proof. The contour of the bead seat area of a single...

Post #32 up above has a screen shot of all pics and the ad. $45K to purchase plus another $75K and you'd have a $60K car. Sounds like a great...

Good write up on initial, mechanical, and vacuum advance....
