> why would you switch to TR6 stock wheels?

Easy answer - I really like the look of the original design. And for me, 
the best look is with the original aluminum trim rings - beautiful. I'm 
currently using aftermarket chrome rings, because I only have three 
aluminum ones in good condition (and one or two that are beat up). And I 
just switched to these original wheels from wires that I had on for the 
last several years. Now --- talk about wheels that are "not very good" 
!! I'm really glad to be done with those.

There are also several nice aftermarket wheels that I like. I happen to 
have a second TR6 (hasn't run in a long time!) that's going to need a 
nice set of wheel, I keep an eye on what's available pretty often.

Enjoy the ride!
