Don=E2=80=99t know why that would be. I have had great success with them on w=
ires. A friend with a TD was having problems getting his wire wheels properl=
y balanced with various vendors. Their problems could have been from not und=
erstanding how wire wheels mount on a hub. Regardless, the stick on weights d=
id the trick. The only problem I could envision is clearance between the bra=
kes and wheels, or concours and originality concerns. Wires should probably u=
se those weights that clamp on the spokes.My friend George just wanted the s=
teering wheel to stop shaking. We made it absolutely steady. =20
