Re: Kanter wire wheels and 21st series

I did not buy my wire wheels from Kanter but they look like the ones they used to sell. I shopped on line for the lowest price and bought a set for my 1950 Series 23. These wheels were sealed for tubeless and work fine.
However the chrome quality was worse than poor. The wheels are only about 2 years old and already are rusting through the chrome. The spokes are worse than the rim. I inquired about getting just the rusty spokes replaced with stainless steel and the cost is greater than the cost of new wheels.
My advice is make sure you get good plating. I live in San Diego and never drive the car in the wet.
