Hi All,

Are any vintage racers running period Dayton wire wheels? Assuming a
lightweight car and correct, vintage tires, would these things be safe and
reliable?  Dayton can rebuild them with stainless steel wires and the
originals are "bead laced" as opposed to todays version.

Please don't assume I know what I'm talking about...  I'm probably
embarking on another maintenance nightmare, right?
