Subject: Re: [Healeys] Wheels/Tires  Please define "non-splined". I believe all the wheels we have been discussing are standard center lock style. They are definitely splined.  Bill LawrenceBN1 #554  Sent from my iPad  On Jan 4, 2020, at 11:06, "Bruce Peters" <rv9aplane at gmail.com> wrote:  > Are all the current wire wheels on offer from the various suppliers non-splined?

If I'm going to be on cobblestones, or rough roads, I use the minilites, if I'm driving around town, I use the Chromes.... However one thing I NEVER do:  drive on 60 spoke wheels.   Modern tires grip the road too well, and the spokes get destroyed.  Use 72 spokes at least.   The ONLY time I'd select 60 spokes (and I have them too) would be if I had a concourse car and it was being shown/judged.   (I don't have a concourse car, I just have a set of original wheels...and the tires are way past their expiration date, I'd never drive around the block on them...lol.).... But, as I said at the outset: it is a personal choice (YMMV... :-)  )>> -skip->> >> -----Original Message----->> From: Healeys [mailto:healeys-bounces at autox.team.net] On Behalf Of >> Bruce Peters>> Sent: Saturday, January 4, 2020 12:26 AM>> To: healeys at autox.team.net>> Subject: [Healeys] Wheels/Tires>> >> Hi all,>> I’m getting closer to having to buy wheels and tires for my ‘67 BJ8. When I say closer I mean a year or so but I like to plan ahead. My car will not be concours correct or be entered in any car judging at shows. It’ll be a driver that won’t see any track time of any sort. That being said I’m wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on wheels and tires. I plan to put chrome wire wheels on. I don’t want Minilite’s. So, here are my questions:>> >> 1. Dunlop style(e.g. Moss) versus Dayton(e.g. Hendrix)?>> 2. Wheel size—15x4.5 60 spoke; 15x5 72 spoke; or 15x5.5 72 spoke?>> 3.
