Altjhough my eyes aren't the best, I believe I can see the ring clips in the picture you show of the back of the wheel. At least I think I see them.
I usually just use a needle nose pliers to remove. If these aren't the style with the clips, they would be the later/latest variety that had snap on rings. I just connected another PY member with a friend of mine who had 2 of those. My friend is selling his wheels on ebay, and whomever buys them, I am going to try and sell my original rings (clip style) to. The Parts Place/Barry Martin rings don't fit very well at all on either the reproduction or the oriiginal wheels. As for the ring being jammed in there, its not a penetrating oil problem. Although I don't think its the case with yours, the rims sometimes fuse themselves to the rings because they are dissimilar metals. My tried and true method is using the edge of a small length of wood on the portion of the ring that goes between the spokes, and hit with a hammer. You have to work your way around. Since the wood is softer than the ring, there is no worries about damage to the ring. |

Andre', did you go to the Old Town Kissimmee show?
If so, did you see the Hurst wheels there?

Yes, and yes. If I was still buying wheels, I would have gotten them and combined with my rings and bullets.

NICE SCORE
Always dug the Hurst wheel mainly due to the limited # produced,
so when seen it's a big deal. I saw this '65 sporting a set last year down in NC. You need to mount them as-is for a photo shoot

If anyone is interested, I know of a single "spear-spoke" wheel for sale. The wheel is in pretty good unrestored condition. Bare wheel. Located in MI.
