Somewhat along these lines: How does one tune a wire wheel? Joe's comment about needing to replace some broken spokes jogged this question. It is a critical procedure on bicycle and motor cycle wheels, and must be important on car wheels too for running true and straight.

There work great on spoked and mag wheels. Just about any tight place really. Just add some chrome polish and go to town on it.

The
Mothers Detail Brush Set - 2 Pack
will work, but nothing else is small enough to get into the tight wedge of a Packard wire wheel.

Yes, they can be tuned, the same way as bike wheels. I have no idea who does it, but the wheels on my 34 were tuned (trued) sometime back in the 80s. Lilac bushes and streams can really screw up your front wheels...
