Thanks Heinz, yes that would probably be the best way to go if it would be possible to persuade them to sell a set of the 80th anniversary wheels, bonus is I like them!
I was just thinking aloud really. I've always preferred the look of steels on a Morgan but have only ever had cars with wires. I was thinking of having black wires this time but they've gone from being standard to costing nearly £1000 as an option!
Will see what's possible but will probably stick with what I'm given for the time being!
Hi Simon, I was not too keen on having wire wheels when I ordered my 4/4 3 years ago as I had had wires on previous classics which were an absolute pain to balance and keep clean and tidy. Mine came with the black painted wires and they are a big improvement on the ones I had had in the past.
Three years & 18k miles later they are fine, much easier to clean with some of todays products and I think the smooth black paint helps a lot as well. No problems with balance or vibration through the steering wheel either, so far.
Once you have the car and have driven it for a bit you will probably find there are other things you would far rather change, especially as that kind of money buys serious improvement in other areas.
