They each have string tied to them and years of dust as if they were hanging somewhere for decades. The rest of the trash pile was just junk furniture, the press board kind.

The set with the red label IRC tires are most likely from an old Peugeot UO8 or similar, the other pair of rims are older. The hubs are dated on the first pair as being 1977.

I'm glad I got them before some scrap guy happened along.
