RE: [MarcosManiacs] wire wheel sizes

Attached is a photo of #5916 (steel frame with TR6 power, one of the 11 build).  The car has 14in. Dayton’s (6.5in), the spindles were out of England.  Dayton well build the wire wheels to your requirements, but they aren’t cheap.  The car has Pirelli tires which have done a good job for street use.

Thanks

Stephen

I'm going to be getting new wheels for my wood hulled 1600 GT.  It currently has 13" Dunlops with bias ply tires on it from the time before I bought the car about 35 years ago.  Its nearing the end of a loooooooong restoration and I'd like to know people's opinion about whether to source new 13" wires or switch to 14" low profile.  Also does anyone have a suggestion for sourcing good wire wheels at a reasonable price including if necessary shipping to the west coast of Canada.

 

Thanks for any guidance.

 

Danny
