I like the look of wire wheels but spun a spline in the 70's. About 5 years ago I thought another spline had spun, so I decided to go Steel. When replacing the hubs I discovered the woodruff key sheared and the splines showed "normal" wear. So, I'm thinking of going back to wires.
Why are the hub splines so short (about 1") and the wheel splines full length (about 3")?
A lot of wheels show severe wear marks at the bottom 1". Can the hubs be machined to add 1/2" to 1" extra splines? I'd feel more comfortable with more spline length and don't think pulling a tire off would be any harder as long as the splines are well lubed.
Again the question on MG 14" & 15" wires. Some say they work and some say they almost work. Has anyone found a fix?
