One thing a person might consider if rebuilding wire wheels is to use
stainless spokes.  I met a guy at Healey Club party once who has a pre-war
large MG saloon.  He used all stainless spokes.  He says he gets marked
down at concours for them, but is not sorry he did it.  On a daily driver,
I would think it would be the way to go.  Imagine, no rusted, frozen
spokes.  No paint or chrome to chip or peel.
