I have about 15 wire wheels and only need 5 or 6 good ones.
Have been checking them for runout(wobble) and concentricity by mounting them on a drum on my brake lathe. I mount the drum and check the face with an indicator then after mounting a wheel use a KD ball joint gage against the two surfaces that the tire touches. See photos. How much can a wheel runout and/or be out of concentricity and still be a usable wheel ??? Any deviations from zero probably have varying results with a change in rpm when mounted on an actual axle. How accurate is a new wheel ??? Further, how concentric is a given tire OD to its ID ??? |
