Got the 2.15/70x14 tires mounted and balanced (but not yet installed in the back and no suspension up front yet) on my Magnum 500s rims. I’ve had these rims for at least 15-20 years. Put the new tires on the “new” rims and a used tire (same size) on an old painted road wheel that will be a spare

Pulled the 4 NOS caps and retainers from my parts stache to get them ready to install to the rims

I got the 20 NOS chrome lug nuts plus 2 spares out that I bought from Richard Ehrenburg years ago.
