<div>Hello All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a 1966 BJ8. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I’m thinking of getting a new set of the MINILITE STYLE KNOCKOFF
wheels and a set
of
</div>
<div>the MICHELIN XAS 165X15 for next driving season.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I was wondering if any list members have any experience with these solid
(non wire) wheels and your opinion </div>
<div>on the quality and safety vs. the traditional wired set.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I was looking at the Minilite wheels on Moss @ $399.99 ea !</div>
