I have 2 questions, or 3 actually..: 1. Who makes the best quality wire wheels for Healeys? 2. Who makes them so they look as original in terms of hub & rim shape? 3. These are the ones I know - are

No question about it, Dayton is far superior, I've bought from both. They both look identical (like original dunlops). MWS makes their wheels in India. Dayton makes theirs in Ohio. As an added benef

Many thanks for all advice.. There is also Borrani I guess in Italy :-) One more question that might sound stupid - what is the reason for buying new wheels and dumping the old ones? Are the 50 year

50 year old 48 spoked wheels should be ok if you are just using it for casual driving. More often that not, both the hub spline and the wire wheel splines are worn meaning that at some point the hub

Hello Tadek, As others already stated, the better made wheels are the Daytons, but here in Europe they are double the price of the MWS. And they look different to the originals. At least you and Conc

Tadek, et al, I have only ever bought and used the MWS painted wheels who use the original Dunlop design. The quality of the India manufactured wheels has been very high for over 20 years and of all

I tend to agree with Rich that fitting wide(r) tires on wire wheels is not a wise decision, but I doubt if this is also applicable to using radials. Wider tires (and wider rims for that matter) creat

Of course if you want to be safe on the road I would stay away from the old antique style tires and put some good safe radial tires on the car. Some of the vintage tires are made from some of the old

If you want to be safe on the road you should not drive a Healey, at least here in Europe. Our vintage Healeys are not at all save. Better wheels and tires do not help a lot for safety in a Healey.

Well, actually, there's no such thing as a "safe" car; but some are more crashworthy than others (I think we can blame Volvo for the false notion that there are "safe" cars). I can't think of anythin
