Bill,
The locals cannot work with wire wheels no matter what they tell you. I
invested more than I care to admit listening to the buffoons and they never
got
it right. That makes me an idiot. I finally sent them to Hendrix and they
got them right. NFI. That was on the TR6. I have the minilites on my 3A. I
have 185 Vredesteins on the wheels and the look and handling is good.
If I were you I would call someone who specializes in wire wheels and see
what they say. It will not be cheap to ship them and have them trued and
balanced and shaved; as I recall the shipping was $30 per wheel with tire, and
the
work was like $60 per tire, but I may be wrong. The end result is that you
will be happy with the wires provided you don't auto cross with them.
My 3A had steel wheels with 165s in great shape with pristine hubcaps, but
the look isn't macho enough for me. (joke)
