WTB Hayes rims 30 x 3.5 with footed lugs.

Post by jmash2120 » Wed Oct 12, 2022 8:11 pm

Looking for Hayes rims for my 23" wheels. I have a 1924 Touring that already has 30 x 3.5 Hayes demountable wheels and rims on the front. Looking to match the back which currently has the all wood non-demountable rims. I have 2 Hayes fellows that I need to match some rims.

Loel, if you are not a stickler for originality, Hayes felloes will accept any fixed lug rim, so others will fit. The reverse is not true. Other felloes will not accept Hayes rims with the foot on the lug.

I was looking for 4 of the exact same rim. I finally defaulted to eBay and after a couple of weeks of wading through overpriced junk and rusty rim-cutting rims, I found a set of 4 beautiful rims all from one seller. Those 4 purchased rims yielded 4 useable rims (I did not expect 100% success but got it).

Some of the same overpriced rims are still being advertised 7 months later (I just checked). That said, reasonably priced ones do periodically pop up and I am witness to that fact.

Good luck.

Scott,
Thanks for the info on the ebay rims. I have found the same issue as there are so many out there but they are seem very pitted and not in great shape. I don't know how to wade through all those rims to zero in on any good potentials on ebay. I guess I need to be patient and persistent.
