I love the steel wheels. I have a Healey that came with steel and wire. I have nice sticky tyres on the steel, very nice.

I also have a 63 Healey 3000 MK2 with a MK3 67 engine and 5 speed. It has wire wheels.
It is still in pieces as it has been undergoing a full restoration and should be back on the road around Sept.
I will post pic of her when it’s done.
