FYI-These are not mine.

On ebay right now there is a set of weighted center frt. rims for an Oliver 70. They appear to be pressed steel with a heavy collar in the center. Was this a factory option or an AM company? I have F&H rims on the frt. of my 70, but I thought these look interesting.
 
I have a 70 with the same weights on it. It's in the shop now gettin' the rust ground off. If I can remember, I'll check tomorrow for any numbers or names on them
 
Those look like spacers to set the wheels in or out.

I asked someone just the the other day and I believe he said they ran them narrow in the spring and spaced out in the fall when it was stickier

I can't see where they weigh all that much.

RT (my 2 cents)
 
The numbers are almost completely readable on the pics. As posted above, those are not weighted, they're just spacers - far too small to be useful as weights! A bit of a con on the part of the seller.
