#1 Chrome wire wheels.

Post by Beechbum » Thu May 09, 2024 9:39 am

Good morning. I'll be buying a set of chrome wires 15×5 flat hub soon.
Although I appreciate that the more expensive ones are probably better it'll be outside my price range. I'm in UK. The best prices I can find are Martin Robey or cheapest Jag Shop in London . Does anyone have experience of either of these as per quality etc. I would be in the market for a used set provided that they are in excellent condition and within 100 miles of PE10. Thanks in advance. Steve

Most of the usual suppliers resell MWS wheels...go direct to MWS... and you can get a discount if your a car club member...Steve

Bought a set for my Series 2 back in 2016. Only done about 3000 miles, but no issues. Quality seems good, stainless spokes good, and despite being tubeless they hold pressure.
