[TR] Minilites on TR3

[DLylis at aol.com]

Bill,
The locals cannot work with wire wheels no matter what they tell you.   I 
invested more than I care to admit listening to the buffoons and they never  got 
it right.  That makes me an idiot.  I finally sent them to Hendrix  and they 
got them right.  NFI.  That was on the TR6.  I have the  minilites on my 3A.  I 
have 185 Vredesteins on the wheels and the look and  handling is good.  
If I were you I would call someone who specializes in wire wheels and see  
what they say.  It will not be cheap to ship them and have them trued and  
balanced and shaved; as I recall the shipping was $30 per wheel with tire, and  the 
work was like $60 per tire, but I may be wrong.  The end result is that  you 
will be happy with the wires provided you don't auto cross with  them. 
My 3A had steel wheels with 165s in great shape with pristine hubcaps, but  
the look isn't macho enough for me.  (joke)
