16" Firestone Rims, adjustable spokes
Can anybody elucidate why these spokes are adjustable? Can regular tires fit on them? Do they require the extra rim?

I'm looking for a 4th one of these rims - do you happen to have a spare? The ones I have use a 'snap ring' . . . what do you have?

I can tell you they don't fit the drums properly, and end up cracking the lugholes. The outer flange that should seat around the drum is about 1/8 too shallow, meaning it doesn't seat. This puts all the stress on the lugholes, ultimately they fail.
