[Healeys] 48 spoke wheels

[Derek Job]

Allan is correct. The lace pattern is different on Daytons. 72 spoke Dunlops
will also fit I had them on my 100-Six with front drums.

60s are stronger, thats why the factory upgraded. However for normal driving
of a classic car 48s are OK. My first 100-Six had them and I drove it for 8
years without any problems. Lots of miles as well.
