Although they specialize in TR7 & TR8, try the Wedge Shop in Taunton, MA. They 
may have a suggestion.

Subject: [TR] Wire Wheel Wear and Other Issues...

        I have had an increasing â??clunkâ?? from the rear right of my car this 
season.  I tracked it down to the splines on my wire wheel being worn and 
allowing radial play on the wheel hub.  Since getting the wires about 20 years 
ago Iâ??ve been good about keeping them tight on the wheels and am a bit 
puzzled as to why there seems to be such wear after less than 40,000 miles. 
        This brings me to my next issue.  Iâ??m having trouble finding a tire 
shop , that after I swap the spare for the worn wheel can balance wire wheels 
properly.  The one place that I was sure could properly balance the wheels, Her 
Majestyâ??s Auto Service in Swansea MA. seems to have gone out of business and 
I canâ??t seem to goggle another local place that has the adapters to 
accurately balance the wire wheels. Any assistance in finding a Massachusetts  
tire shop that could do the work  would be appreciated.
        Best,
        Bob
