I always thought of Dayton as a brand- I refer to them as "spokes"- or as some say "wobblers"😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Year and Dayton wheel both did conversions on early wood and cast spoke wheels to fit pneumatic tires. By cutting down or machining the spoke rims to remove the solid tire and fit the pneumatic tire and rim. Dayton went on to make disc split rims and spider conversions to eliminate the truckers from doing the machining and conversions. Dayton went on do make OEM spiders for most all makes in the 30's early 40's. Originally the conversions were for the long haul (150 miles?), higher speeds and less noise in the cities. Dayton Conversion for Wood Spoke rims Early Dayton Pneumatic conversion on MACK cast spokes Early Good Year Conversion with "3 bolt Pinch" band to trap rim Edited November 30, 2020 by 41chevy 5 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlotpilot Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 those pictured on trailer are for tube type tires either with the single or two piece lock rings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleclutchinweasel Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) We always just called them "spoke wheels", or "Daytons", because they were one of the manufacturers. But, I believe the technically correct term is "demountable rims". See Southwest Wheel or Accuride for examples. https://www.southwestwheel.com/c-855-tubeless-demountable-rims.aspx https://www.accuridecorp.com/sites/default/files/resources/2019-07/W1.000 Rev. 4 Accuride Wheels Product Catalog_0.pdf Edited November 30, 2020 by doubleclutchinweasel 1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

LOL! Incidentally, we always referred to ANY type of hub-piloted or stud-piloted wheel as a "disc" wheel. Didn't matter if they were "Budd" type or "Alcoas", or whatever. So, it was either "spoke wheels" or "disc wheels". Only 2 choices we had! Funny how terminology varies from region to region... 4 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Yes it sure is, from the simple items we eat to tools to trucks and hobbies It varies all over Australia from only slight changes to things that dont even make sense Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h67st Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 When I grew up in the 60s and 70s in Ohio we called them spoke wheels, and any disc wheel we called budds. You're right--it just depends on where you live, there are different names here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleclutchinweasel Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Oh, and I once saw these types of wheels called "artillery" wheels. But, I don't know if that was an accurate use of that term. Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Artillery wheels are the steel style that replaced wooden spoke wheels in the late 1920s on light and medium truck and passenger cars. This one is off a Dodge Brothers early 30's pick up. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
