[TR] Wire Wheel Question

[William Brewer]

Hi Alex,
     I bought a used set on MOSS Dunlops (made in India) from a lister. The
wheels were low miles and still had the stickers on them. I put them on used
apparently good hubs. Everything was great at first, but within 20,000 miles
the wheels were out of round and clunking on the hubs. I also broke two
spokes.
     I recently bought some Dayton SS wire wheels from British Wire Wheel in
Fresno. They  came with Vredestein tires properly mounted and balanced. I love
the package. It was pricey, but you get what you pay for. No complaints with
how it all turned out. I also mounted them on new hubs using Copaslip
antisieze as they recommended. No tubes were needed. This was definitely the
way to go for me.
    Good Luck,

Hello all.

I am thinking about getting a new set of wire wheels to replace the
old and tired ones on my TR3.

The two player are the Dunlop and the Dayton. I want the 60 spoke painted.

I have had people tell me that the Daytons are superior to the
Dunlop, but the were not able to tell me why; I have had people tell
me there is no difference in quality between the two.

I can get a much better deal on the Dunlops than I can on the Daytons.

What is the consensus of the list?

Thanks

Alex
