TT rear wheels
A friend has restored a TT school bus but he can not find rims for the rear wheels. Has any one converted modern wheels to use for these rear wheels ?

Re: TT rear wheels
Jim, no need to do that.
Have him get ahold of Universal Vintage Tire in Hershey, PA. They have nice TT rims,
but of course I'm thinking you're talking about the rear rims, which are typically the "two piece widow maker" rims with
the locking ring. I bought a pair from them for my TT firetruck, most used rims just aren't safe to keep using.
They're not cheap, but what price reliability and safety? Good luck to him.
