Ken / Richard -
This goes to show I always prefer to buy from healey specialists ...
and in this case wire wheel specialists.
Order from the Nocks, www.britishcarspecialists.com or in this case
directly from either BWW or ... my preference for wheels and tires,
Hendricks wire wheel.
Nothing to be gained from buying direct from Moss. Let the experts
figure out the problems in the Moss stocklist for you. Prices are all
pretty much the same no matter who you deal with.
Best Regards,
Alan
