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.

Not a TT3 part. Perhaps a towing bar?<br>

No experience with the wheels sold by Moss ? sorry.=C2=A0 And I recently ha=
d a very bad experience ordering wheels from Rimmers in the UK.<br>
<br>
Bear in mind that wire wheels are heavier than the alternatives ? racers ra=
rely, if ever, use them.=C2=A0 But don?t they look great ?<br>

<br>
I?d=C2=A0 like other peoples experience with wire wheels.=C2=A0 =C2=A0I?ve =
been running wire wheels on my TR6 for about 25 years.=C2=A0 I love the loo=
k of wires, but they have been no end of difficulty.<br>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0Balancing- Most tire shops say they can b=
alance wire wheels, but they can?t.=C2=A0 Over time it?s been hit and miss =
as to whether I can get the wheels properly balanced.=C2=A0 Last year I got=
 balancing cones form Moss that largely eliminated that issue. The resin co=
nes I got were not in the Moss catalog and were much cheaper than the steel=
 set listed in the Moss catalog.<br>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0Quality of the wheels themselves- I don?t=
 do much spirited driving, but I?ve had difficulty with the hubs of the Day=
ton wheels I have wearing out to the point that there is an audible clunk w=
hen starting from the play in the wheel hubs. This issue is much more prono=
unced on the rear drive wheels. I?ve also had issues with the durability of=
 the wheels finish. This is on a car that is fair weather driver. As I?ve s=
aid, these wheels are about 25 years old and have about 40,000 miles on the=
m.<br>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0At this point I need to replace at least =
2 of the wheels.=C2=A0 When I called Dayton they told me that, while chrome=
 wires were in stock, they only special order painted wire wheels and the p=
rocess takes about 4-6 weeks. They also said that the charge for chrome wir=
es and painted wires are the same.=C2=A0 Moss sells MWS wire wheels, which =
I?m guessing is a new name for the Dunlap wires they previously sold.<br>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0My questions are, are others having the s=
ame issue with their wire wheels, and are folks using the MWS wheels from M=
oss having better(good) luck with their wires?<br>

Looks like maybe it?s cut to fit over the tranny tunnel and be a support<br=
