   A friend just sent me some photos of this wheel and asked if I would like to have it.
Do  you think if I put my spare on it, it will hold up on a rough trail?

	So since my friend offered me this wheel, I looked up Willys-Knight and learned some stuff that many of you probably already know. Apparently Willys-Knight was kind of the Cadillac mark of Willys Overland in the 1920s and early 1930s. There were some pretty sweet looking rigs, some with early V-8s. Found this picture on Wikipedia. The 1928 Willys-Knight 70A pictured here seems to be equipped with wheels that are a close match this one.
