| I am in the process of painting my rear rims after getting them sandblasted I was surprised to see "Firestone" marked on the inside. I didn't know they made these rims?? Ryan |

| I think Firestone purchased Electric Wheel in the 1950's and they made a bunch of rims for A-C. So not totally surprised by this discovery. Thanks for sharing it though! |
