I'm working with a group of guys to return a friend's Jag Mk3 to the road. We had to replace all of the center lock hubs, and of course the wheels as well. While looking for a source for these items we came across British Wire Wheel Service. They beat everyone
else's prices for the whole package by a pretty substantial amount and their service was exceptional. The parts arrived promptly and are of very good quality and when we speculated on the phone that we might need to replace the wheel bearings too they just
threw them in.</div>

We are very satisfied, as is the owner of the Jag who had to foot the bill. And while I can't guarantee they will give you free stuff I can still highly recommend this company.</div>

<div class="PlainText">I have Dayton 5" 72-spoke chrome wire wheels on disk wheel hubs. These Daytons are not splined, but use a toothed backing plate that bolts to the rotor/hub and drum/hub assemblies. When I purchased it from the PO, it had been sitting
for 6 years and the wheels were perfectly true, so they are very robust and they look great, though beefier than the standard Dunlop wire wheel. Given that the car was originally a disk wheel car, if I ever have to replace the wires, I would seriously consider
Minilites. <br>
<br>
As for tires, I run Vredestein Sprint Classic, 165/15. Very happy with them. They are getting close to the end of their age cycle, and I plan to replace with the same.

It is a personal choice IMHO. I have both chrome spokes and minilites. Depending on mood and distance/road quality, I mount the appropriate wheels/tires.... 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... :-) )<br>

Hi all,<br>
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:<br>
<br>
1. Dunlop style(e.g. Moss) versus Dayton(e.g. Hendrix)?<br>
2. Wheel size—15x4.5 60 spoke; 15x5 72 spoke; or 15x5.5 72 spoke?<br>
3. Tire Brand?<br>
4. Tire Size?<br>
<br>
I’m not a bargain basement shopper so I’m willing to pay for the best combinations that make sense. I realize there’s a lot of personal preference so I hope I’m not gonna start a war with these questions!
<br>
<br>
Thanks everyone!<br>
Bruce<br>
