Thank you, fellow members for your feedback. It was certainly appreciated. I know that Star rims are certainly not worth their weight in gold but, there are a couple of details that make them interesting (flanged ones, six holes). The configuration of the hoop itself, around each hole is a bit longer and flatter than most over-the-counter rims. Also, the longest part of each hole is 7/16 inch as opposed to 3/8. I know that these are all details but, isn't that what we strive for when restoring these old treasures? I was very lucky today. I bought two Star 13 inch rims on ebay for $20.00. The seller, an American gentleman was kind enough to ship them to a relative in Michigan for me.He does not ship to Canada. He is also throwing in three near-new Remo Ambassador heads! I am more than pleased. Thanks again, everyone for your interest and support.
