Dayton wire wheels

[russvf]

I currently own a set of Dayton wire wheels. Good and bad. Dayton told me they made 2,000 wheels and do not plan on making more. Several issues: :

* if you find any expect to pay $400 plus
* there are no tubes to find or buy
* This means about every 4 years you ship them back to Dayton for resealing. About $150 each plus shipping and a few weeks for them to get it donw
* A balance problem - not as easy to balance a solid wheels

Look great but at a cost

It looks like this place might be able to get tubes, or make them.

I’ve never had to send mine back. Just had them mounted and they’ve been great.

True Spoke still makes wire wheels for a large number of vehicles, but they are about $5k for a set and all the thrills that come with wire wheels.
I spoke with the owner many, many years ago about a set for 2002-05 Thunderbirds. He had sold out, but was keeping one set for possible use
for himself. As great as they look, I think I'll stick with my 21 spoke versions.
