I had one of the 8 tooth "step" type on my Cavalier and it kept rotating slightly on the wheel. I was afraid it would cut the valve stem. I tried prying the teeth so they would grip better but I was never successful in preventing it from slipping.


That's interesting. So maybe the ones with 16 teeth are the revised ones due to this issue. I sure wish some of mine had part numbers on 'em.

You can read about Safety Rims here but I can’t see how they could account for the difference in wheel cover design. It was more likely just a running change in details but I am curious now which types mine are! I have a good set on my 1954 Patrician and also an NOS set.


Thanks for that link Don. Let us know which ones you have, I'm very curious as well!
