I believe that Moss lists the allowable runout of a new wire wheel to be .09=
0". That plus an inner tube, plus bias ply tires, seems to be a recipe for p=
roblems. Keeping them clean is another problems. But, nothing looks better=
than wires on a TR or any classic British sports car. Panasports or Silver=
stones or something similar with a nice set of radials can be a very good op=
tion. =20
