I posted this on the Austin Healey Experience forum and hoping to broaden the audience by posting here.
Decisions, decisions.
Are there any disadvantages to 72-spoke chrome 5.5" wire wheels? Any problem with clearance in the wheel well issues?
As mentioned in the other forum, it looks like perhaps future modification of the brakes may have fewer options with the 4.5" wheels than the 5.5".
Are the 60-spoke wheels considered important in maintaining originality?
I won't be racing the car and am a pretty conservative driver at age 77.
I am not concerned about the difference in cost. Just trying to make a decision I won't later come to regret. What would you folks do?
I got some very useful information on the other forum. Anybody here care to chime in? I plan on 4 new wheels sometime in the next few weeks.
Thanks all.
