Found a cracked rim...

I found a cracked rim while cleaning the truck this past weekend.

It cracked at the weld seam on the back side of the rim. No warranty on this kind of damage. I ordered a new rim through Discount last night and I HOPE to have it by Friday. Only found one in the country and that was in Mississippi.
I guess the old rim will make a nice hose reel in the shop...

I got the other three rims cleaned up Saturday. The look pretty good. I use Mothers "Billet" Polish to keep them shined up. It does work better then the "mag" wheel polish on aluminum...

The rims are Eagle Alloy #203.
The new rim came in last Friday so I took the truck in to get it changed out. The new one was not the right offset... It was a 6.5 instead of a 5.5. The box was marked 5.5... We ordered another rim, it is coming out of California.
