Other products
================================================================================
Tires 
   British Wire Wheel has expanded to include a limited number of sizes and
   brands.  It had become obvious that many wheel customers were interested in
   proper mounting and balancing of new tires on their new or reconditioned 
   wire wheels.  What was most surprising was that we could be extremely 
   competitive with our tire prices.  We ship (via UPS) a mounted and properly
   balanced tire/wheel combination by strapping cardboard over both sides of the
   wheel, leaving the tread area of the tire exposed.  All you've got to do is
   grease the splines and pop the wheel/tire onto your car (after removing the
   protective cardboard!).

Knockoffs

Splined Wire Wheel Hub Adapters

Hammers

Spokes & Nipples

Spoke Wrenches

*  Please allow ten working days for normal truing or rebuilding.  (Spring &
   early summer are our busiest times and will require more time)

   states.
*  Prior arrangements must be made if you wish to leave your auto with us.
