[Tigers] Silverstone wheels on the Tiger

[Steven Silverstein]

Rande,

Yes, I have a few sets of the Silverstones on my Alpines.   You have  
to be careful regarding the magnesium corrosion and age.
If you ever consider buying a set have the tires dismounted first to  
inspect the corrosion on the inside of the rim which can be the worst  
of it.

Also, Tigers and Alpines were often sold in sets with two different  
offsets, not all the time of course, but dealer sheets describe the  
wheel sets as having two offsets.
The fronts would be different from the rear in order to even the  
front and rear track widths.

They are very nice looking rims.  Unique in comparison with Mini-lites.

Keeping them polished can be a pain.   I use 3M's Imperial glaze to  
lift the oxidation from the rims leaving the center of the wheels  
dark... those wheels on the Tiger in the field would take weeks to  
bring back.   I am sure you could employ
some type of electric buffer but I always just buff often and by hand.
