[TR] Wire Wheels--Safety

[P Caffrey <pcaffrey@ymail.com>]

Hi List, 
Any opinions on the reliability 
of original wire wheels that have
never received maintenance (e.g., tuned, 
spokes replaced)?  What are the
chances of a wire wheel collapsing?  The wheels on 
my car are original with
all spokes accounted for and no visible rust.  The only 
thing I've done to
maintain them is powder-coating and wheel balance when tires 
are replaced.
Today, I had a nice drive on 
the Sacramento River road.  A lot of winding
road for miles with beautiful 
scenery of vineyards, small towns, boating,
etc.  However, the makeshift roadside 
altars marking auto fatalities (several
on the Sacramento levee) reminds one of 
the inherent dangers associated with
our cars. 

Thanks for any opinions...
