Keep in mind that new ones may not be available. I spent years sourcing
original wires for my TC (3 of my wheels are TA wheels, laced on the outer
portion of the rim instead of the centre) because they are so hard to come
by. The replacements available don't have the rolled rim bead, just a sharp
edge like modern wheels. Just my $.02.
Cheers,

ps: 3 original TA wheels may be available shortly.
