Thanks for all of the information. This may not come out right but why would people now a days choose a cutoff over a factory wheel. Is it because most of the spoke wheels were steel and not rubber.

Just about every small town blacksmith would do these conversions .Some were real artists and some were butchers.This was really big business in the 1940's after WW11 when rubber tires became readily available.

cut-offs are or were steel wheels. way back when, they got sick of riding on steel wheels with or without lugs. so they cut off the outer steel rim and welded rims onto the spokes that would except rubber tires. there were many thriving business that did this for whoever wanted them. if only they knew,..... pg

Are most of the cutoffs "true", that is, are they not slightly out of round?

Not bad.

The tire companies had fixtures that you mounted the wheel on. They had a rotating clamp that held the torch so it would swing in a perfect circle. If you knew what you were doing, you could make a pretty true conversion.
