Maybe just a bit, but that makes life more fun. Ashford Little ralittle2 at mac.com > On Mar 14, 2024, at 6:43?PM, Irv Korey wrote: > > Yes, you have lost your mind.

I?ve been running wire wheels on my TR6 for about 25 years. I love the look of wires, but they have been no end of difficulty. Balancing- Most tire shops say they can balance wire wheels, but they can?t. Over time it?s been hit and miss as to whether I can get the wheels properly balanced. Last year I got balancing cones form Moss that largely eliminated that issue. The resin cones I got were not in the Moss catalog and were much cheaper than the steel set listed in the Moss catalog. Quality of the wheels themselves- I don?t do much spirited driving, but I?ve had difficulty with the hubs of the Dayton wheels I have wearing out to the point that there is an audible clunk when starting from the play in the wheel hubs. This issue is much more pronounced on the rear drive wheels. I?ve also had issues with the durability of the wheels finish. This is on a car that is fair weather driver. As I?ve said, these wheels are about 25 years old and have about 40,000 miles on them. At this point I need to replace at least 2 of the wheels. When I called Dayton they told me that, while chrome wires were in stock, they only special order painted wire wheels and the process takes about 4-6 weeks. They also said that the charge for chrome wires and painted wires are the same. Moss sells MWS wire wheels, which I?m guessing is a new name for the Dunlap wires they previously sold. My questions are, are others having the same issue with their wire wheels, and are folks using the MWS wheels from Moss having better(good) luck with their wires?

No experience with the wheels sold by Moss ? sorry. And I recently had a very bad experience ordering wheels from Rimmers in the UK. Bear in mind that wire wheels are heavier than the alternatives ? racers rarely, if ever, use them. But don?t they look great ?

Essentially, it boils down to bad machining on the hub and poor quality of the mating surfaces on the wheel centre spline. Over a period of time the snugness of fit becomes sloppier no matter how tight the centre lock spinner. My younger son had the same complaint with his fully restored 1970 MG Midget and in the end, the only cure was four new wheels, four new splined hubs and a goodly dollop of copperslip on the mating surfaces. I?m told by those in the know that this is a perennial problem with people with E type Jaguars when they all came ex factory with chrome or painted wire wheels.
