Hay list,
    I wanted to update you on my loose wire wheel problem.  I got a lot of
good advice from the list, but neglected to mention that the wires were new.
    As it turned out, the problem took care of itself.  I tightened the
knockoffs gently several times after driving the car, gradually the wheels
tightened up.  In the end I think it just took the hubs wheels and knockoffs
time to mate up properly.
        I suggest that anyone getting new wheels etc. follow this regimen as I
could see slight spalling where the wheels were working against the hub after
a very short time.

PS After several days of trying I could not get anyone to answer TRF's
technical line to discuss this problem.
