I've met Jerry and Allen and even emailed them, when doing the wife's B, but never heard that, "Handle", used, could be? They are tops when it comes to truing and balancing wire wheels and mounted tires. They even have a tire shaving machine for truing out of round tires. What a difference it makes when the tires are true! PJ

Yes.... NONE better.

Thank you for the expert advice Super Wheelguy. And John, your car sure looks good with those 72's. I am assuming those are the 5" wide rims of which you have previously posted.

For me, nothing made my car handle better then when I installed a set of 72" Dayton chrome/stainless wires.

Must have been tough to fit under the fenders! :jester:

Probably the first Healey "donk". :devilgrin:

I'm very pleased with my Alan Hendrix supplied Dayton 72 spokers, Michelin ZX radials that were mounted and shaved. Along with Alan's brake drum balancing (and some added bracing in the doghouse, I have absolutely no scuttle shake.

I saw these Turrino wires advertised in Octane magazine. Alloy rims rather than steel, probably just the piece of kit if you were into high end vintage racing. Couldn't find a price list, but I'm guessing pretty spendy: Turrino Wire Wheels
