Was digging through some A parts behind a locale farmers barn and found a hot dipped 30 - 31 wheel, did ford do this? Aftermarket? One off homespun? Farmer said its been there long time is in mint condition, I brought it home. Any one ever seen one? Thanks
 
No, not paint, this is the real deal like on iron pipe, no sign of paint at all, rim is like new no pitting or rust been outside laying on ground 30yrs or better, would like to find the other 3
 
This happens on boat trailers, people get them hot dip galvanized. Some unknowing people have them cold zinc plated thinking it is the same but it really is not (hint to unknowing people who might be reading this, get it hot dipped if you want it to last longer). If you want more hot dipped wheels find some rough ones, the hot dip fills in the rust pits so they look better.
