[TR] Solid or wires

[DAVID MASSEY]

 I believe the question is "will a TR6 with wire wheels sell for a higher price than one with steel wheels.  I don't know what the market is but opinions vary on the desirability of wires on a TR6.  Personally, I don't care for wire wheels on the TR6.  I think the TR6 look is too modern for the anachronistic look of wire wheels.    I love the look of wires on the TR3 and TR4, however.
But this is just my opinion.  I'm sure there are others who like the look of wire wheels on the TR6.  That is their opinion and equally valid.  It's all about what you like.

So the answer to the question is what is the market trend?
I don't know.

 Brian, I went with Superlites for my 72 6. Wires on my 63 4 and stock wheels on my 3. All look great. I have never seen a 6 with wires. If I had to do it all over again, I would go with the Superlites on all 3.

Hello all. Hoping you can help with this. I have a '74 TR6 I'm restoring and am contemplating the wheels. The car originally came with solid wheels, but I have also have a set of nearly new (READ: in absolutely excellent shape) Dayton wires that I could put on it. Yes, I know, the stud are a different length - been down that road a few times. My question is: is a TR6 more desirable with wires? I don't plan on keeping it once it's finished.... just a thing I have about the love of restoration. It's a Malard blue car with factory OD (and still has OD), so I want to make the car all it can be. Thoughts on the wheels?
