Triumph racers,
Karen and I are looking to get our TR-3 together so I can race it in the Ka=
stner Cup next year at RA (she'll race her TR-6), and I am looking for some=
 insight on wire wheel sizes people are using. I will be running wires like=
ly with Hoosier Speedsters, and am curious what others are using. 72 spoke,=
 or 60? 15 x 5" or 15 x 6"?

Thanks much!

That's a really great photo of an amazingly period correct TR3 with wires.  Very inspiring.  Even the mirror are factory original style.  Cool.
