[TR] wire wheels

[KingsCreekTrees at aol.com]

I love my painted wire wheels. I think the painted ones look more  
purposeful than the chrome ones, which I think look a bit over-done. More to the  
point, I have had 48-spoke and 60-spoke wire wheels go out of round and 
require  tuning. However, since I fitted my 72-spoke, 5.5-inch wide wires to my 
TR3A I  have not had to make any adjustments. These are the ones originally 
fitted to  TR6's, I think. They are very strong, do not require frequent 
adjustments and  have been used by racer friends of mine since the mid-1970's 
with no  problems.
 
I ditched my 60-spokers due to them only allowing skinny rubber that was  
not up to the excellent TR3 disc brakes and also because of the  maintenance.

I'm  thinking of buying chrome wire wheels (tr-3) and am just curious about
what  other peoples experiences have been with wire wheels.  Are there  
problems
with having them get knocked out of round?  Are there more  problems with
keeping them balanced?  Just wondering how people like  wire wheels.
