15x5.5 MWS Dunlop Wire Chrome | 72 Spoke

Wire Wheel, Chrome, 15"x5.5", 72 Spoke, Heavy Duty, Tubeless Type, BJ7 from 24367, BJ8

Most British cars were originally fitted with painted wire wheels. Chrome wheels were a popular option, but the stove-enameled look may be what you want to set your car apart on the show field. Painted wire wheels were used on all competition cars, and they can add a more correct, purposeful look to vintage race cars and other high-performance machines.
MWS Dunlop style painted wire wheels have a very high corrosion resistance. Before being painted, they are primer-coated using Cathodic Electrophoretic Technology, popularly known as &electro or &e-coat. The silver-grey paint topcoat combines with the primer to give the wheel a salt-spray resistance of 840 hours when tested per ASTM standards. Painted wheels have a one-year cosmetic and two-year structural warranty.
Each MWS Dunlop style chrome wire wheel has a rim and shell which are polished in special-purpose machines, then hand-polished by skilled craftsmen. To enhance the corrosion resistance, microporous nickel plating is done prior to chrome plating. The product conforms to the stringent International Standards ISO 1456-1988 specifications. The spokes and nipples are chrome-plated stainless steel for brightness and long life. Chrome wheels have a two-year cosmetic and three-year structural warranty.
All wire wheel nipples are silicone sealed at the rim to keep water out, a common complaint on lesser quality wheels.
Wire wheels require special balancing procedures. For MGC: 15" x 5.5" wheels are the recommended size for MGC replacement wheels. The OEM spec wheel is no longer available for MGC.
