That's a really great photo of an amazingly period correct TR3 with wires.
Very inspiring. Even the mirror are factory original style. Cool.

Karen and I are looking to get our TR-3 together so I can race it in the
Kastner Cup next year at RA (she'll race her TR-6), and I am looking for some
insight on wire wheel sizes people are using. I will be running wires likely
with Hoosier Speedsters, and am curious what others are using. 72 spoke, or 60?
15 x 5" or 15 x 6"?
