BryanC17reo Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I'm looking for one or two Firestone rims with locking rings that take 600x20 tires , I think these were on many trucks in the early to middle twenties ,these are on a Reo Speedwagon truck .

1912Staver Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Most trucks of this era use 24 inch rims, the standard Firestone truck rim. The 20 inch rims are more late 1920's , 28 - 29 and probably a bit newer , and usually on relatively small trucks. 1 , 1 1/2 , 2 ton. Several makes used them, but they are somewhat scarce.

Layden B Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 More scarce than " somewhat scarce" I am thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagefinds Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I believe this is a Firestone D rim,smooth across where it meets the felloe,does not use a wedge ring,and has MotorWheel (MW) wedges not Firestone. I don't think I have any in my hoard but will look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to my 1929 Dodge Bros 3/4 ton rim. The tire rim is solid with no break. The lock ring holds the tire rim on the spoke rim. There has much discussion on this forum about these rims See attached sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stakeside Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I have lock rings from 29 Dodge Bros, 27 ford TT model and ford model AA truck. They fit on my 20” rim. Be careful since these lock rings may have been distorted over the years of use and when putting air in tire you could have a most catastrophic failed with possible injuries.
