I bought my new chrome wires (all 5) from Moss for my everyday driver MGB.
They were true from the day I put them on, about five years ago. At least as
one can tell from driving and when they were on the dynamic balancer. No
complaints other than the rubber sleeve that protects the inner tubes from the
spoke nipples got brittle and split within about 18 months. Nothing a roll of
duct tape wouldn't fix, although I enjoyed some flats untiI pulled them all
and taped them.
