I dont think I've seen a tractor TRiumph on wire wheels since Don Brick =
retired many years ago.
And, before that several of us had tried to convince him to get at least =
some TR6 steel wheels if not old looking style Panasports or similar.

I will join others that encourage you to not run wires.  But, if you must, =
check each and every one of the 72 spokes at least every day of competition=
 look for loose or broken ones.  They were not designed for modern tires.  =
Get a very small tack hammer and play them like a piano tuner.  If one is =
loose it will not ring as it should

btw, even TR6 steel wheels arent the perfect answer.  We started cracking =
them on "modern" tires 20+ years ago.  And tires have only gotten stickier =
- if that's a word

I have a set of wires that came off a 289 SHELBY COBRA. They are indestructi=
ble.

I=E2=80=99ve run them off and on for almost 50 years.  Both a TR4A and TR3A.=

They look very cool on a TR3A or TR4.

Would like to.  A previous K Cup race there remains a favorite of mine and =
Glen's.  It was legendary.=20

We were on TR6 wheels by then and breaking 1 or 2 at every event.  And that=
 was on bias tires.
btw, the pic of the wheels you have for sale look very much like my second =
set.  Bought them more than 20 years ago.  Mine are sort of a no name brand=
.  Says  "Rocket" in the casting on the inside.  If I needed a set, I'd =
take 'em in a flash.

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

<p style=3D"margin: 0; line-height: 1.0;">I dont think I've seen a tractor =

<p style=3D"margin: 0; line-height: 1.0;">I will join others that encourage=
 you to not run wires.&nbsp; But, if you must, check each and every one of =
the 72 spokes at least every day of competition look for loose or broken =
ones.&nbsp; They were not designed for modern tires.&nbsp; Get a very small=

<p style=3D"margin: 0; line-height: 1.0;">btw, even TR6 steel wheels arent =
