I have 32/33 wheels on my little roadster and I think they are square. I have rebuilt the rear end, front end and tightened everything up. I have new tires and they were balanced--so, what am I looking at here and how to I correct it. Is it that the rims are bent or what ideas do you have?

    Hi Brownie, The joys of wire wheels. Was glad my old MGB has disc wheels.
    fellow MGB; owners spent much money having their wire wheels trued. Are yours the 17in. with welded spokes?? Ask around about who does wheel truing. No quick cure here. Sorry.

    Yes, 17. I am going down to my tire shop and watch then run them on the balancer to see how bad they are.... I am good to 45 miles per hour... above that it is quite a ride.... By the way, sold my MGB last week..... Bummer!!
