OUCH ! .
There's still a few wheel plants here in L.A. , looking at the thousands of 1/2 made wheels is always interesting to me...

So I can measure them from the flat pieces of steel (rim) or the square piece of steel (spider) that was welded together (or riveted for larger truck rims). Four things stand out in my memory from those days:Â 1) when I shoved some steel into a guys chest (he survived); 2) When I stacked 10,000 lbs of steel off center and it crashed with an earthshaking roar; 3) when I dropped a wheel on my toe twice in a week; and 4) when I was stacking 3 pallets of wheels for storage and the bottom pallet broke causing 100-150 wheels to come tumbling down (being young and spry, I rolled off the forklift and hid until the noise stopped - then it was off to the hospital for a walking cast.
