Prefer 1973 and not machined early wheels because of design difference.
Please spin them to make sure they are absolutely straight. I already have a pile of bent ones. Thanks, Brad

Let me know if you don't find anything. I have a set of 4 with tires mounted I was going to put racing tires on. I might let them go but I need to check them first.

Brad I have 5. Not sure if they are 1973. Is there a way to tell the year? Probably stamped on them but thought I would just in case it was not obvious. They are just sitting there so just let me know if you wind up needing them.

I think mine are the early ones as they end in 00.

Early 00 wheels can be machined easily IF you can find some one to do the work for a reasonable price. I took a Fuchs wheel and let them measure it and then they cut the the inset down.

What is the best way to determine straightness? The eyeball test will find the big things but it can miss a lot.

A good way to check for straightness is to stack one wheel on the other and check 360 degrees for ANY gaps between the 2 wheels then stack so the other 2 surfaces are in contact. Vary rarely the wheels are bent at the center only but this should work. Brad
