[AJD] Calcium Chloride in wheels, How to deal with it

[John Boehm]

A different rim. Calcium chloride was rarely used here
in CA as there is not too much chance of it getting
cold enough to freeze the plain water that was
normally used. Consequently, we don't see rusted out
rims very often. I have a few "A" rims if that is what
you are looking for.
