Proper spoked wheels, E type style!

[Classichims]

I wonder if we could get proper cromed Spoke wheels to fit the ford hubs.
I'd love a set of those, summer tyres for special days out and winter to clean em again!
Show wheels!
Has anyone fitted any and how'd it look!
Cheers Alun

Made me smile, I got to page 2, page 3 was too much for a man of my years!

That was so funny.

Ok, not a Chimeara and not quite your "traditional" style wires........


S on wires

[Pupp]

Once you've done that, you could further improve by adding a cranking handle and acetylene lamps...

Cnt help but think it would look awful but then I don't think wires suit anything post 60's

Just about makes it on MGBs

Its st. Wire wheels are heavy, never completely round and leak.

Have the same. Take it off and resell with Sikaflex.

Ok ok I get the picture, so has anyone got any for sale, lol
My MGB had pucker spoked wheels with centre hubs.
Looked glorious, didn't leak and stayed true!
Having considered your comments bks to ya, nah I think the car would look to busy and a mish mash with them really.

Very pricey but this may be the way to do it....

J&ms, top work mate, now if that's not a beautiful wheel, what is.
I wonder if I can get Chrome bumpers, lollol lol
I'm going to offer a spoked wheel up and see how it looks.
My thinking is,
With15/16 wheels, the higher side wall tyre wouldn't look out of place with a period wheel, but would the car?
Contemplation more than anything else!
I don't like low profile tyres on the bumpy old British roads.
