Original RJ 35 front wheels and tires

[Lane Ranger 10,945]

Here are some photos of what I understand are original front wheels and tires on a 1955 RJ-35.   The wheels were two piece but had six spot welds and the tires were Schenuits. 

 

The front wheel on this RJ 35  is unusual also.  Not sure if it is original but has two part wheel that is bolted together.

The other indicator on the difference with the RJ 35 front wheels and even some very early 58's had them is the minimal "lip" at the tire. The newer wheels had a bigger lip. The other option was a two piece wheel used on the very early 35's. They are bolted together. Check out Vin's RJ posts or his you tube channel to see them. VINSRJ is his you tube channel.

 Am currently looking for a set of those early two piece rims.
