[Healeys] re. Wheel/Tire mounting

[joe mulqueen]

I used BJ (jb?) wire wheel in Santa Cruz CA.  Retrued
my MGA's 48 spoke x 15" and mounted new tubes and
"Signet" brand 165/80-15 tires.  Did decent work.  I
very much like the tires and drive the car 70+ (has
3.90 dif) on fwy every day back and forth to work. 
Relatively fresh engine is turning 4 - 4500 rpm at
that speed!

Does anyone know a good tire installer in  CA?
Or....does anyone know
 where 
I can get touch up paint for Dunlop wire wheels?  I
bought these wheels
 1 
year ago.  Just got back from having new tires
installed at a reputable
 
comapny. They scratched the hell out of 4 of my 5
wheels.  They also
 slashed 
all of the tubes because not aware old wire wheels
have tubes.  You
 would 
think they would get a clue after the first one. They
also used a putty
 
knife to take off the old weights. I have scrapes on
the inside and
 outside 
of the wheel.
