[TR] wire wheels

[dlylis at gmail.com]

Bob,
Depending upon the price of the wheels I would think twice about buying used. I put brand new Dunlop wheels on my TR6 and to get them to balance and run true I had to ship the wheels and tires to Hendrix Wire Wheel and have them trued and balanced. This added about 50% more to the cost. If you do not know the history of wheels of this type I would think long and hard. You may end up spending nearly the cost of new Daytons and have used wheels in the end. Something I wish I had done. I value engineered it for a few hundred bucks which quickly disappeared.

Triumphistae,
	I'm planning to look at a set of used chrome 60-spoke wire wheels. The
seller isn't sure if they are Dayton or Dunlop. Based on general hearsay, I
think I would prefer Dayton. Does anyone know of a way to visually tell the
difference between the two brands? Any and all comments most welcome
regarding either manufacturer.

TIA
Bob Streepy
