Thanks for the input. I understand your point.
However, Even the oldest cars had very tight grease cap covers on the outside and seals on inside of hub keeping dirt, crap , and most importantly water out. If it had a zirk, pumping a little new grease in would in turn push out some of the old along with dirt...

I don't mind wiping down the rim every so often after putting a few pumps in so I think I will drill in some zirks.
