The splines on my wire wheels (67 MGB) have lots of wear; enough
that I am now looking at replacement wheels. I like wires, and want to
retain them. (Yes, I have wear on the hubs too, and am in the process of
replacing them.)
While looking through the catalogs, I see Victoria British is
offering a set of four at a lower price than the other vendors I have
checked. The VB catalog states the wires have been shipped over 8,000
miles. Sounds like they are coming from one of the low-wage countries in
Asia.
Has anyone had any experience with these wire wheels? Or, good, or
bad, experience with other brands of wire wheels?
Also, I have always been attracted to the chrome wires, even though
they aren't 'original'. I have heard stories about chrome spokes breaking,
so I wonder if any of you on the net have opinions on the different
manufactures of chrome wires, if I decide to go that route? (Maybe someone
has a set of wires, with good splines, they are interested in selling?)
Any comments or experiences will be appreciated.
