TR6 Wire Wheels: MWS/Dunlop vs Dayton - which is better?

[TR6Canuck]

Buying wire wheels. Who has experience with MWS/Dunlop and/or Dayton? Which is better and why? Appreciate sharing any experiences.

I have owned both Dunlop & Dayton chrome 60 spoke wire wheels.
Our car is stored inside our garage. West Coast location... low humidity.
First was the Dunlop’s. Within 2 years started to notice rust developing.
After a couple spokes broke I was fortunate to find a nice set of Dayton’s.
Daytons been on now for about 5 years. To this point in time....
zero issue with any rust starting or broken spokes.
Just my experience

You would not have to worry about rust or cleaning if you were to fit mag wheels.

That would be like James Bond... wearing sneakers...

I fitted Dayton stainless steel spoked 6" wide wires to one of my cars. Very durable. Should fit the TR6 wheel wells easily. These have more outward offset (made for AC Cobra Mk 1s) but they also have TR6 friendly offsets.

They look brilliant. Thanks for the suggestion, my order is in.
