A friend is restoring a prewar Riley and sent me  the following... any other 
suggestions or ideas? He lives in eastern  US.
 
After getting no joy from British Wire wheel other  than recommending Dayton 
Wire Wheel, I spoke to the guy at Dayton Wheel Concepts  about refurbishing 
the Riley's five wheels of 18" x 4" size. They say they can  certainly do the 
job by completely stripping, new spokes and nipples and repaint  at the cool 
price of $410 each. They have a 90 day lead time at the  moment.  It looks like 
an over $2,000 exercise to refurbish the Riley's  wheels? 
 
Welcome to the pre-war car world.
 
Any leads?
 
Thanks Don  B.
