[British-cars] Dayton Wire Wheels?

[pethier at comcast.net]

Roland!  I have not heard from you for a while.  How's the snake?

I had one person tell me privately that the quality at Dayton has gone downhill in recent years.  I don't know.

I do know that I was very pleased with the 60-spoke TR4 wheels I bought in 2002.  They were still working well when I sold the car in 2010.

Painted wheels are stronger and stiffer than chrome wheels.  They can't string the chromes as tightly, as the stainless threads can not take as much torque.
