Greetings and thanks for the information and views Dave .
I only have four 60 spoke wheels and no spare . My spare wheel is a normal
TR3 steel disc wheel . A wee bit of a hassle to change wheels if I get a
flat . Maybe I'm just lazy :-)
I also feel that the price is a little high , but the owner won't go lower
than R 1600 ( he originally wanted R 1750 ) and he won't split the set .
Splines seem ok , spokes little bit of rusted on the ends , not sure if
everything is as straight as it should be , but nothing obvious wrong .
Wish I could obtain a new wheel though , but unfortunately our money ( South
African Rand ) is basically worth nothing compared to yours ( US Dollar or
British Pound ) so buying from USA or UK is not so easy . On the other hand
we are a cheap holiday destination for you guys and that is also why most
classics in SA are sold to overseas buyers .
As to the fitting of wire wheels in the spare wheel compartment , someone
informed me that there is a slight difference between the TR 2/3 and TR 3A
compartments . 60 spoke wheels will apparently fit in the TR3A but not TR2/3
compartment . Not sure if this is true though , but I think I read it
somewhere in " Original TR2/3/3A " as well .
Kind regards .

... But one question: What's wrong with the 60 spoke wheels? Or
are you just looking for a spare? ...
