Spoke wheels vs. disk:

["David and Kalon Randall" <superhoser@hotmail.com>]

Folks,

I'm told that disk wheels are lighter and stronger than wire wheels (I've not
weighed them myself).

Why then did the British racing cars all use wire wheels? Even when they
switched to Mini Lite style wheels, they were still center-lock (for ease of
changing, I imagine). Were wires used for the same reason?

Thanks,
