Halibrand still makes the GT40 wheel from the original molds in either aluminum or magnesium. If theses are truly OE wheels from the 60's I would shelve them except for shows and get a new set. As for care, Halibrand can answer any and all questions..they have a good tech line on the web site. If you insist on using these wheels, get them xrayed for cracks....especially if they have been painted a few times because the paint can hide a hairline crack.

Thanks for the insight - I visited Halibrand on the web and emailed to see if they can direct me to the cotter pin that I'm looking for. Yes, they are truly OE wheels, but have not seen many miles with only 10,000 miles since 1980. So, is it time or miles that cause cracks in this type of wheel?
