Just a mention here: back in the mid-60's I installed the wood-rim
wheel on my Mini racer that I had taken off my MGA when I sold it.
Then a few months later I removed it and replaced it with a
rubber-rimmed wheel. 

This was because of seeing what a wood-rimmed wheel can do to a
person in a bad accident. One of my friends at the track was stabbed
really badly by the wood on the rim when he flipped his Sprite. It
made a bad injury accident *much* worse; they were picking splinters
out of his innards for hours, according to the doctors.

Hope you all don't mind, but I thought this worth a mention.
