[Healeys] 48 spoke wheels

[Darin Graber]

Hello,

    I am looking for the definitive word on the 48 spoke wire wheels on my '57
100-6.  With the four wheel drum brakes, I have heard that you cannot upgrade
to 60 spoke wheels due to the offset (or lack thereof). Is this true and if
so, am I resigned to keep the 48 spoke wheels?  I like the open look of less
wires, but drive a lot and worry sometimes about strength.  Thanks in
advance.
