To be helpful but self-serving here a minute, I have a nice set of original 8=
-spoke magnesium American Racing wheels, 5 or 5 1/2 inches wide that are jus=
t begging to go on a period correct TR3 or 4. They need a good cleaning and=
coat of paint. They would be much more robust than the wire wheels and stil=
l keep to the authentic look of the times. Looking for a reasonable offer.=20=
