Hey guys, I don't have a very good way to magnify this picture of my dads 55 so it's hard to really tell what the front wheels are. The last him and I talked about it, he thought they were aluminum. I was thinking maybe they were single rib radirs, but weren't those chrome plated steel rims with the aluminum center? If so, then if he remembered correctly thinking they were aluminum, then they could not be radirs. To me they look like a flat spoke with maybe a slight rib in the center of the spoke. I'll attach the pic, it's a scan of a polaroid, not sure if any of you can enhance/enlarge it enough to tell. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Its hard to tell from the pic...one spoke looks like a normal torq thrust style...and another looks flat with a raised edge...dont think theyre Radir...but offbrand in the reversed nature...they look like a Hollywood wheel or some kind of Fenton...many of those types of wheels had an aluminum center with a chrome steel rim though....here is a pic of some Fenton Hawks for comparison
The way the spoke meets the outside of the wheel at a 90 degree angle makes me think of a steel/aluminum wheel... hopefully another pic will show up
