Don Correction, Hi-E Riveted Rims. Sorry spell checker was merciless on that one. Add original Michelin Sewup tires from the 1970's or that Argentine tire I once had; heavy canvas casing with painted on tread (paint, rubber who knew) for lack or reliability. We called them Argentine Firecrackers (named after a well known stripper with Washington ties of the day), virtually all canvas no rubber.
