THOUSANDS of tests have proven the artillery type spoke wheel the most practical and durable of popular type wheels. A careful study of “wheel-ology” will show that spoke wheels withstand the greatest shocks without damage to axles, bearings, or the car itself.

Steel Wheels – Where Strength Is Essential

The terrific speed of modern motor cars calls for the greatest possible strength in wheels while yet maintaining the minimum in weight. The Dayton Steel Spoke Wheel offers a most successful answer to this popular wheel problem by giving car owners a new measure of wheel service.

Its artillery type design makes it practical for popular use and readily adapts it to the needs of the millions of car owners. Its steel construction and hollow spokes, with folded seam throughout their entire length, provides the necessary strength while also keeping the weight down to the minimum. This seam is neither brazed or welded, nor is there any brazing or welding at either hub or felloe ends. This method of construction prevents the possibility of crystalization which would occur at brazed or welded points. Another important feature is that the all-steel construction of the wheel permits the use of a baked enamel finish equal to that found on the best car bodies.

A Wonderful Wheel for Dealers and Car Owners

The Dayton Steel Spoke Wheel bids fair to revolutionize the motor wheel industry. Rough roads, heavy loads and slippery pavements are no terror to this wheel. It withstands the knocks and bumps of every-day driving.
