- I think Dayton makes them in knock-off or bolt-on. There are some others as well I'll have to look. Dan Eiland Tigers? Tiger?

- We were looking to put a set of wires on a Tiger a while back. The project fell thru due to budget woes. I now have a new set of front hubs and rear "bolt-on" knock off hubs with spinners for a Tiger

- Anyone on the list put 15" Cobra style wire wheels on a Tiger? I would be interested in the particulars, especially the back spacing or any other problems that surfaced during the installation. Thank

- I have seen a set of Zenith wire wheels on a Tiger. They looked nice and beefy. Problem was they were quite heavy, and after several years outside, the were starting to rust. Larry
