When I was about to put my 100 back on the road in 2002 I weighed the options and decided to install Panasport (Minilite style) wheels instead of going back to wires. I was not looking forward to dealing with the fragility of the 48 spoke wheels and the 60
spokes won't fit in the front (BN4 running gear). They cost a little more initially, but the have paid for themselves in performance and lack of preventive maintenance.</div>

One thing to remember, any wider wheel/tire combination may negate the ability to carry a spare.</div>

<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>
