<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;mso-line-height-alt:13.8pt"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">I’d like other peoples experience with wire wheels. I’ve been running wire wheels on my TR6 for about 25 years. I love
the look of wires, but they have been no end of difficulty. </span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;mso-line-height-alt:13.8pt"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"> Balancing- Most tire shops say they can balance wire wheels, but they can’t. Over time it’s been hit and miss
as to whether I can get the wheels properly balanced. Last year I got balancing cones form Moss that largely eliminated that issue. The resin cones I got were not in the Moss catalog and were much cheaper than the steel set listed in the Moss catalog.</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;mso-line-height-alt:13.8pt"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"> Quality of the wheels themselves- I don’t do much spirited driving, but I’ve had difficulty with the hubs of the
Dayton wheels I have wearing out to the point that there is an audible clunk when starting from the play in the wheel hubs. This issue is much more pronounced on the rear drive wheels. I’ve also had issues with the durability of the wheels finish. This is
on a car that is fair weather driver. As I’ve said, these wheels are about 25 years old and have about 40,000 miles on them.</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;mso-line-height-alt:13.8pt"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"> At this point I need to replace at least 2 of the wheels. When I called Dayton they told me that, while chrome
wires were in stock, they only special order painted wire wheels and the process takes about 4-6 weeks. They also said that the charge for chrome wires and painted wires are the same. Moss sells MWS wire wheels, which I’m guessing is a new name for the Dunlap
wires they previously sold.</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;mso-line-height-alt:13.8pt"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"> My questions are, are others having the same issue with their wire wheels, and are folks using the MWS wheels
from Moss having better(good) luck with their wires?</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
