<p>FWIW. I have a set of usable chrome wires for a TR6. One needs a
little lateral truing. One must collect them here.. Royal PITA to
ship. Alan could true it. Though I thought Alan had passed??</p>

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:18.0pt;font-family:Aptos"> 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:18.0pt;font-family:Aptos"> 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"><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"> 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

having better(good) luck with their wires?</span><span
