Re: 68 spare wheel and ncrs judging

Jeff,
Does your spare also have the little BB sized welded dot on the rim that aligns to the paint mark? Hard to tell from the photo but it looks like it is there. Not all spares have this dot. I think it was a "high spot" marker but not sure.

You know what, I can't remember now where that BB is. Looking at my photo it appears it's not there. Is it possible the BB is on the opposite side? When it get's warmer I'll go drop the tub and look. I get confused on the high / low side stuff too.

Is there a way you could make the picture bigger or take one closser to the paint? It was too small to actually see the color.
