[TR] worn splines on wire wheels

[Andrew Uprichard]

Define ‘mildly”….

 

But seriously, why would you ever take a chance?  We drive these cars at 68, 80, even 100 mph.  If a wheel comes off it’s going to be bad news.

 

So my answer is – nope.

I do not wish this to be an answer, but more of a question. Does using a copper "lubricant" help fill in mildly worn splines without sacrificing safety?

Going through my stash of wire wheels for my stag. Half of the splines on them are worn Do they wear with age or should I be tightening the octagon nut on a periodic basis? In some cases the splines on the hubs are worn too.

 

Has anyone come up with anything useful for a unusable wire wheel. Or should they just go to the recycler?
