[TR] WIre Wheels

[pethier at comcast.net]

In this context, I should probably point out again that I bought Dayton painted wheels.  The Dayton engineer explained to me why they were stronger and stiffer than the chrome ones.  Sue like the stock look and I like the performance.  We both like it that they are substantially cheaper.
