I agree that Dayton Wheel is the source for a wire wheel.

But realize that if you are thinking of knock wheels, you will
have to change to splined hubs.  Then you can join the world
of wire wheel owners who constantly worry about stripped
splines.  Ask Steve Arcala how many Alpine wires a he 
went thru looking for good splines.  True wires also use inner
tubes.  

I remember reading somewhere that Sunbeam did try the
Alpine hubs and wires on the Tiger, but the Tiger had so much
tirque it pulled the spokes from the wheel. 

Dayton will make a wire wheel that  fits the Tiger hib and uses
tubleless tires.  But why not consider SS's LAT 70's.  They
are more correct.
