Fellow Spitfire listers,
The '72 Spitfire I'm rebuilding came with 5 wire wheels, not the knock-off
kind, these are direct bolt-on types. I think they were an option for a very
short period of time, that's question one. Was there such an option ?
Question two, are they worth rebuilding ? No broken spokes, but after
removing the tires and looking inside, there is rust on the nipples. The
exteriors just need a little sand blasting and paint, but I would like to
replace a bunch of nipples, and probably some spokes.
Which leads to question three, where do you get nipples and spokes ?
Thanks, Ken C
