Wire Wheels

these are available from http://www.moss-europe.co.uk/MossUK/ProductList.aspx?SubSubCategoryID=MX5_UWWC711

and cost £250 each! its a lot, bu one day when i finis my car its what i would like to use, having used mx5 uprights/hubs.

i'm not sure what size they are though...

Will these be suitable for a locost? or too heavy weak?

Never had a car with wire wheels then ? -- absolute swine to keep clean, heavy, never run exactly true and need regular checking for loose spokes..

A few landy drivers on here!

Bought a used set of wire wheels with tyres fitted, as SWMBO's mx5 needs replacment tyres anyway.

Thing is they were second hand and are a bit pitted and scuffed. Started polishing one with some brasso type stuff, started o come up a treat but will be a pig initially.

btw the wheel centre and the spokes are cromed steel, but the rim is a chromed alloy, so not too heavy.
