I have eleven 56 Jr. wheels here. NO Sr. wheels. Only 10 are accesible for inspection. 3hree of the wheels have the safety bead. 7even do not.

Wheel with safety bead weighs 19.5 pounds. Wheel withOUT safety bead weighs 19.0 pounds. I accept the 1/2 pound difference as negligable and accept that both wheels weigh the same.

NOTE: that the Parts Catalouge indicates different part numbers for 55 wheels than 56 wheels, Jr or Sr.
