Would you happen to know what the weight of each wheel was? I have been thinking about getting a set.

A word of caution with wire wheels. True spoke wire wheels will flex. My dad had some on his MG and got rid of them due to the way they affected the handling in 'spirited' drives.

The wheels in the first post are Tru-spoke a low price competitor to Dayton with chrome plated steel spokes and chrome steel rim with spoke seats punched in.

The wheels in post 4 are Fortec Monarch and have chromed steel spokes and drilled aluminum rims. These are the ones that are most commonly identified as "Eunos" wire wheels. I think these are the best looking due to the drilled aluminum rim like a Borrani wire wheel.

This is a Dayton and has polished stainless steel spokes and a chrome plated steel rim with the spoke seats punched in.
