John,

I have Dayton 60 spoke / 4.5 inch on my 63 TR4 and after 3 seasons they have 
held up quite nice. No problems with the paint other than they are hard to 
clean! I am running a 165/15 Cooper tire. 

If I ever change the wheels on the 3 from the stock steel, I will go with 
Super-lites 15 / 6.

I have a set of Super-lites for my TR6 project and I am having BF Goodrich 
Traction T/A T tires (205/70/R15) mounted on the rims tomorrow.

For me wires just don't look right on a 3 or a 6.

But thats just me I guess.

Bob
