Searched and couldn't find an answer.
I am about to change tires and tubes on 15X4.5 wire wheels. The current set has rubber wheel grommets that compensate for the diameter of the air valve on modern tubes. I'm not sure if these will be reusable. Several sources sell the grommets by ID and OD. My only problem is that I need to completely dismount one tire to determine the diameter of the hole in the rim (my tire shop is 45 min away). Any idea where to find the correct grommets for a Triumph 60 spoke wire wheel and a TR13 inner tube?
Thanks in advance!
 
I forgot the name, but it is in Tennessee and it is something like Wirer wheels or British wire wheels probably google it
 
I thought that might be who you were talking about. Actually, they couldn't get much closer to each other...they share a border. :D
 
I just got a reply back from Coker Tire. They sell one size grommet that fits in a 5/8" rim hole and reduces it the 3/8" to fit a TR13 size tube. I am sure that Hendrix Wire Wheel uses something very similar.
Thanks!
