These Daytons are not splined, but use a toothed backing plate that bolts to the rotor/hub and drum/hub assemblies.

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... :-) )<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> -skip-<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> -----Original Message-----<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> From: Healeys [<a href="mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net</span></a>] On Behalf Of <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> Bruce Peters<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> Sent: Saturday, January 4, 2020 12:26 AM<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> To: <a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>healeys@autox.team.net</span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> Subject: [Healeys] Wheels/Tires<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> 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:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> 1. Dunlop style(e.g. Moss) versus Dayton(e.g. Hendrix)?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> 2. Wheel size—15x4.5 60 spoke; 15x5 72 spoke; or 15x5.5 72 spoke?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>>> 3.
