So I would guess the two sort of balance out. For someone doing a "point" car this wheel is of value. His alternative is to buy a modern wheel and modify it to remove the seam and make it acceptable to be judged.

The wheel spent most of it's life in WV. Was only in FL a few years. Probably shouldn't have even posted this without some better pics... as it's hard to tell anything. Thanks for the input. Better pics with a real camera/background and Ebay are likely what will happen.

Thanks again, guys.
