Firestone Accu-forge wheels

[mbulriss]

Yeah, Mike Hohnstein has real good prices on those wheels. If you
can see an obvious crack and it is building up dirt, it's cracked all
the way through. Common occurrence from them countryside burly tire
changers with 1,000+lb of torque 1" air guns cranked to the max.
Don't ask how I know!

Speaking of cracks however, a single small stress crack emanating
outward from a lug nut hole is not a major deal requiring immediate
fix. However, one (or more) that goes from a lug nut hole all the way
to the center flange, or one that goes from one lug hole to another
lug nut hole, well those are roadside events waiting to happen and
worthy of quickly fixing...
