I've had the painted Moss MWS wheels on my TR4A for about 10 years and
16,000 miles.  I have had zero issues with them.  They're tubeless and I
keep waiting for them to start leaking but they never have.  I had a
second set of tires mounted last year and haven't had a problem with
balancing at my local tire shop.

from<br>
&gt; the play in the wheel hubs. This issue is much more pronounced on the =
rear<br>
&gt; drive wheels. I?ve also had issues with the durability of the wheels<b=

&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 At this point I need to replace at l=

&gt; only special order painted wire wheels and the process takes about 4-6=

&gt; weeks. They also said that the charge for chrome wires and painted wir=

a new name<br>

No experience with the wheels sold by Moss ? sorry.=C2=A0 And I recently ha=

<br>
Bear in mind that wire wheels are heavier than the alternatives ? racers ra=
