Those look nice. Makes you wonder why the big vendors don't just make them right in the first place. I guess they don't figure they could sell 5000 sets at $65 ? . I'll have to sell some spare parts for these..

My 65 GS wheels are painted and anxiously awaiting the arrival of their LUG NUTS to replace the American Coke Bottle mags I purchased new in 1973.

Yes, those are the original tires with tubes in the picture.

Also notice there is no webbing on the edge of the spokes.

Later versions had the webbing added to the spokes to keep them from cracking I understand.

In any case burnouts in the driveway are out of the question on the old rollers.

PM me with directions on what you need for transaction on one 4 wheel set of correct LUG NUTS.

Sounds great Jon.  If I do not respond shortly after they are ready for shipment, it is only because my job doesn't always permit regular internet access. I will definitely take a set from you. Thanks!!
