[Tigers] Alpine Wheels

[Steve Laifman]

Bill,

Please do NOT use Alpine wheels on a Tiger.  Although they may "fit", 
the center section stamping is thinner than the Tiger, and could fail 
under loads.

The wire wheels suffer the same lack of strength on the heavier power 
and more weight of the Tiger. The early Triumph TR4's could not be 
sanctioned raced without hub plates, as their wheels would fail.
