Hi List,
Any opinions on the reliability
of original wire wheels that have
never received maintenance (e.g., tuned,
spokes replaced)? What are the
chances of a wire wheel collapsing? The wheels on
my car are original with
all spokes accounted for and no visible rust. The only
thing I've done to
maintain them is powder-coating and wheel balance when tires
are replaced.
Today, I had a nice drive on
the Sacramento River road. A lot of winding
road for miles with beautiful
scenery of vineyards, small towns, boating,
etc. However, the makeshift roadside
altars marking auto fatalities (several
on the Sacramento levee) reminds one of
the inherent dangers associated with
our cars.
Thanks for any opinions...
