You have the rare stock bolt-on wire wheels? So do I. (Actually mine are in the attic, because I got tired of getting flats due to failing inner tubes).
If you need to replace any spokes, you will have to have them custom-made. These wheels take spokes that are a bit shorter than the ones used by the more common splined-hub wire wheels. I had a few spare spokes made up by these guys: http://www.buchananspokes.com/index.html As for the tires, these wire wheels are the same width as the standard wheels. In my opinion, 175-70 is the ideal size for them. (It's what I have). Doug Braun '72 Spit At 06:21 PM 11/10/2003 -0600, you wrote: >I'm also getting ready to start rehab of the bolt-on wires I have.
