I need a 27″ Johnson Rim for my 1912 Pierce-Arrow 48SS 7 Passenger Touring.”
They’re as hard to find as an honest politician(P.A.Society members
excluded).Try to find somebody to manufacture one for you.Coker has
somebody making new rims.I will try to find more sources.Meanwhile secure a good line of credit.They may have to be machined out of a solid
billet.There was a guy in So. Cal making the best wheels at $15K to $25K
for 5 wheels 8 to 10 years ago.I think he’s retired.
My ’12 is an early one.It has non-demountable rims.I believe it has
Marsh rims and they have been on the car since new.I would like to know
more about P.A.’s use of rims in the early days.

I have 5 total (4 on the and one spare) I have two spares (thus, oe without the rim) It is not the end of the earth, but I would like to complete the set. At this time, the spares are covered, so it isn’t obvious. If I keep looking, something will develope.
