Default Re: 16" split rims - Can you chrome them?

Firestone made them (16" 5X 5.5) and they were adjustable spokes.They also used the 32-35 Ford hubcap.Also there was an artillery wheel ,Clark?,(16")that had the snap ring.5X 5.5 bolt pattern.Here is a pic.

They are not General Jumbo's although the hubcap is similar.

The 33 sedan pictures had 2 different pairs of 16" artillery wheels when I bought the car. 1 pair were Budd's .They did not have the snap ring.
